The Ghana Police Service has insisted that they were not in Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency, Francis Xavier-Sosu’s church on Sunday to arrest him.
Speaking on Citi Breakfast show, Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, ACP Kwesi Ofori, said the police were in the church for tactical reasons, noting that the MP would have been arrested by now if that was the intention.
“The police did not arrest him. Their intentions, their tactical direction perhaps may have been different for being there… If it was to be an arrest using all the necessary available means, we could have done that,” he said.
He also noted that the police service has not ruled out legal action to compel the MP to report himself for questioning.
“We are in a democratic country. The police have options. Even if it comes to the interpretation of that clause in the Supreme Court, the police are prepared to do it,” ACP Ofori said.
