Prof Stephen Kwaku Asare, a US-based Ghanaian academic and a lawyer, has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, to release NPP’s Abronye DC and other individuals locked up in the police custody for publication of false news and offensive conduct conducive to breach of peace.
According to him, someone making allegations does not breach the peace of the public and that the “concert and circus” of the police is getting out of hand.
In a post on his social media timeline, Kwaku Azar, as known famously wrote:
“The police, with the connivance of some district courts, have effectively overthrown the speech and media provisions of the Constitution.
“I don’t know if this breaches the peace but the concert and circus are getting out of hand.
“IGP Dampare, release Abronye and other speech prisoners now!
“#SALL is the cardinal sin of the 8th Parliament.”
The Bono Regional Chairman of the governing NPP, was charged by the police after he alleged that former President, John Dramani Mahama wanted to stage a coup in Ghana.
