Vice President of IMANI Africa and legal practitioner, Kofi Bentil, has stated that it is unlawful for individuals to invade private homes masked and armed under the guise of effecting an arrest.
According to him, such actions may amount to kidnapping, and citizens have the right to defend themselves, even with firearms, under such circumstances.
Speaking in an interview on Joy News on April 10, 2025, Bentil referenced a recent incident involving masked officers believed to be from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) who stormed the residence of the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South, Rev Ntim Fordjour.
The officers were reportedly attempting to arrest the MP, who also serves as the Minority's Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament.
