NPP Official Challenges Wontumi's Detention: 'Rule of Law, Not Military Rule'

Ghana's NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong voiced strong criticism of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) following the arrest and detention of NPP Chairman Wontumi. In a statement captured on video, Frimpong questioned the legality of Wontumi's prolonged detention, asserting that "We’re under the rule of law, not military rule." He highlighted the fact that Wontumi was held beyond the legally permissible 48 hours, without sufficient justification. Frimpong's remarks underscore concerns about due process and the potential for political overreach. The incident has sparked debate about the balance between law enforcement and political freedoms in Ghana. The ongoing situation continues to unfold, awaiting further developments and clarifications from the relevant authorities.
