Ghanaian Minority MPs Protest Arrest of Ruling Party Chairman

Accra, Ghana – Minority MPs from the opposition party staged a protest outside the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters today, demanding the immediate release of ruling party Chairman Wontumi. The protest, which began at approximately 4 PM local time, involved several MPs who sat on the ground outside the EOCO building. One MP, Afenyo-Markin, expressed his outrage, stating, “So EOCO is saying they’re better than the CID? Those in charge must be professional!” His words highlight the frustration felt by the opposition over what they perceive as an unfair arrest. The protest underscores the ongoing political tensions in Ghana and raises questions about the transparency and fairness of the legal processes involved. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected.
