Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, has explained the reason behind the detention of Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the MP for Manhyia South. Mr Oppong Nkrumah stated that the detention is meant to show the Manhyia South MP "where power lies."
This action follows Mr Awuah's resistance to an arrest he described as unlawful by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). Mr Oppong Nkrumah indicated that the situation surrounding the MP's detention is complex.
The specific details of the case leading to the arrest and detention have not been fully disclosed. The Economic and Organised Crime Office has not yet released an official statement detailing the charges or the circumstances.
The detention of a Member of Parliament by an investigative body raises questions about due process and the separation of powers. Further information is expected as the situation develops.
