The Director of Strategy, Research, and Communication at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Samuel Appiah Darko, has warned that resisting arrest-whether lawful or not-could amount to obstruction of justice, a serious criminal offense under the law.
Speaking on JoyNews' The Law on Sunday, April 13, Mr.
Appiah Darko stated that individuals who interfere with or resist arrest procedures risk not only complicating their legal situation but also facing additional charges with significant penalties. "If you try to resist an arrest, that in itself is a criminal offense.
You could face a fine or a minimum jail term of one year, depending on the circumstances.
