The Volta Regional Vice Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Loh says he would have personally effected a citizen arrest on President Akufo-Addo if he was present at the funeral of the late Sir John.
He was reacting to the wanton disregard for Covid-19 protocols at the NPP stalwart’s funeral with many calling for the prosecution of President Akufo-Addo who found himself culpable.
Speaking to Vim Lady on Okay FM, Mr George Loh said the President was called for the law to work bemoaning how certain power in power escape punishment when they flout the law while others get punished.
To him, President Akufo-Addo was lucky he wasn’t present at the funeral grounds because he would have personally effected a citizen arrest on him.
“The President, apart from the COVID, his security was thrown to the dogs. It was dangerous . . . My worry is that when you rule a nation with two sets of law, one is for one set of people and one is for another set of people; it goes with rebellion. It causes a lot of problems. People must be called to order. What we are saying is once others have been punished, in this case too, certain people must answer.”
“If I went there, I would have caused a citizen arrest of the President. He’s lucky that I didn’t attend,” he stated.
