NPP questions police on continued detention of Ken Agyapong
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is demanding that
the police administration clear about the charges
preferred against the Member of Parliament for
Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong and his whereabouts.


The party called off a news conference to react to
the detention of the MP.
The leadership comprising the minority MPs, donned
red armbands, and moved towards the offices of the
Bereau National Investigation (BNI) and Police
Headquarters.

Joy FM’s Seth Kwame Boateng who was with the
procession of NPP gurus, reported that leaders of
the party have asked their supporters to remain
calm and desist from confronting the police.

NPP First Vice Chairman Fred Oware called on the
security agencies to administer justice without
any favour.

“…We expect all offending parties to treated
equally and again if there is anybody who has also
offended the law he should be treated as such,”
Fred maintained.

Joy FM’s Anny Osabutey also reported that the
party big wigs went to the offices of the BNI to
secure bail for their colleague but said they were
unsuccessful.

Meanwhile supporters of the MP in the Assin North
district have hit the streets to protest the
arrest and subsequent detention of Mr Ken
Agyapong.

Joy FM correspondent Richard Kojo Nyarko said the
protestors, wearing red armbands paraded the
principal streets of the constituency with
placards which had inscriptions like: “Free Ken
Agyepong now”, “Y’abre wo Uncle Atta”, “Wicked
Asomdwoe hene” among others.
