Turning invitations into arrests is making citizens reluctant to assist police – Twumasi Ankrah

“The practice has shown over the years that when people willingly submit themselves or attend to an invitation extended to them by the police or any other institution with the power to effect arrest, they end up being arrested,” he said.“So, with the benefit of that practice, people now have also taken a position not to honour such invitations and to say to them that you come and now exercise your powers of arrest; then they know that properly they are a suspect,” he explained.“They have so often created, turned an invitation into an arrest that the people have now become apprehensive,” he stated.
