Member of Parliament for the Effutu Constituency and attorney for Assin Central MP, Alexander Afenyo–Markin, says the MP did not assault the Central Regional Police Commander and should not be arrested.
The Police in a letter addressed to the leadership of Parliament asked the house to release the lawmaker to assist investigations following an assault complaint lodged against him by Detective Sergeant George Ofori, the Central Region Divisional Commander.
In the letter signed by the Director-General/Administration, Commissioner of Police (COP), Mr Ken Yeboah said: "The said incident is alleged to have occurred on 14th March, 2019, during a demonstration by students of University of Education at Winneba. In the circumstances, we respectfully crave your indulgence to release Hon. Kennedy Agyapong to report to the Central Regional Police Commander to assist with investigations into the alleged assault,” it stated.
However, in an interview with members of the parliamentary press corps last Sunday Mr Afenyo-Markin stated that Kennedy Agyapong did not assault the Police officer.
"The Police must properly evaluate the fact made available to them."
"I Just want to put on record that there was no such assault on any police officer in my presence," he added
