Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu Constituency, Alexander Afenyo- Markin, has formally petitioned the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to launch a full investigation into an alleged unprovoked act of violence against him by a uniformed police officer during the “Save the Judiciary” demonstration at the Parliament House.
In a statement issued on 6th May 2025, Mr. Afenyo-Markin called on the police administration to take disciplinary action against the said officer, identified as Constable Forson.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service says it has reviewed multiple video recordings related to an alleged assault on a police officer by Mr. Afenyo-Markin during the same demonstration. Following the review, the Service has written to the Speaker of Parliament, requesting the release of the Minority Leader to assist in ongoing investigations into the alleged incident. The officer involved will also be assisting with the investigation.
