Miracles Aboagye questions Mustapha Gbande’s authority to direct EOCO arrest of Manhyia South MP

Newly elected Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dennis Miracles Aboagye says it is unfortunate for a political operative to direct a law enforcement agency to arrest a sitting Member of Parliament.
Mr Aboagye said he expected Mr Gbande to apologise for his admission rather than justify the directive, insisting that law enforcement decisions should be based on professional assessments and established procedures rather than political instructions.
Speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse on Monday, October 5, Mr Aboagye questioned the basis for Mr Gbande’s directive, arguing that his position as a political party official does not give him the authority to direct EOCO on who to arrest.
