Baffour Awuah’s detention is about showing him where power lies after resisting EOCO’s ‘unlawful arrest’ – Oppong Nkrumah

According to Mr Oppong Nkrumah, the issue surrounding the MP’s detention should not be reduced to the state’s power to hold a suspect for 48 hours, but rather whether the person is likely to appear before investigators and the court, interfere with investigations or pose a flight risk.

Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says the detention of Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah is aimed at showing him “where power lies” after he resisted what he described as an "unlawful arrest" by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Mr Oppong Nkrumah questioned the circumstances surrounding the detention and subsequent court proceedings involving the Manhyia South MP.
