Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has questioned the manner in which the Economic and Organised Crime Office arrested New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications Director Dennis Miracles Aboagye.
Speaking in Parliament, Mr. Afenyo-Markin said the Minority supports accountability but disagrees with the approach used by investigators.
“The Director of Communications of our party, Miracles Aboagye, was arrested and detained by EOCO at the airport. He has been in custody for over three days. We are not against accountability. We are against the Rambo style,” he said.
According to him, EOCO could have relied on an invitation instead of an arrest.
“EOCO can investigate. EOCO can do its work with a human face. An invitation to Miracles Aboagye to appear before EOCO would have solved everything. In any event, the man was already attending upon them. Anytime they invited him, he was there. Why the Rambo style?” he asked.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin also referred to the bail conditions reportedly imposed on Mr. Aboagye.
“Now they are demanding properties worth GH¢50 million before he’s granted bail. Let’s be careful, my dear political colleagues. Let’s be careful, Ghanaian political leaders,” he said.
