Nana Frimpong Zeiga, a Ghanaian entertainment pundit, has alleged that the arrest of NPP communications team member Miracles Aboagye is a diversionary tactic deployed by the government.
According to Nana Frimpong Zeiga, Miracles Aboagye’s arrest by EOCO is an attempt by the ruling NDC government to divert growing public attention from President Mahama’s alleged third-term agenda.
He alleged that Mahama’s third-term bid is likely to proceed unless he has been advised against it by the party’s executives.
Speaking on Kessben TV, Nana Frimpong Zeiga alleged, “This is a diversionary tactic. President Mahama will go for a third term if nothing changes. Mark my words. The third-term agenda has already been set in motion.
“Unless President Mahama has been advised by the NDC against it because it won’t help the party politically. They arrested Miracles because they wanted someone well-known so people would focus on that instead of Mahama’s alleged third-term bid,” he alleged.
He further added, “Miracles Aboagye isn’t above the laws of Ghana, and if he has done something wrong, the law should take its course. But there should be a proper way of handling such matters.
“Why can’t they treat Miracles the same way they treated NAPO? If they want him for questioning, they can simply invite him and his lawyers. But we need to pay attention to these Rambo-style arrests because they are alarming,” he added.
Meanwhile, Justice Abdulai, a Private legal practitioner, has bluntly told the NPP that no suspect has the legal right to determine when, where or how they should be arrested.
The Private legal practitioner detailed that provided law enforcement agencies act within the confines of the law, no one has the right to determine when and how they are arrested.
Justice Abdulai, however, raised concerns over the manner in which an arrest may be made, adding that the law does not give suspects the discretion to decide the timing or circumstances of their arrest.
Speaking in an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story on Monday, July 13, Justice Abdulai stated, “No one has a right to determine when and how he is arrested. So long as it is within the law, and due process is followed in effecting the arrest, you cannot determine how, where and when you should be arrested”
“It is unfortunate when the arrest is made to look like it is intended to smear and cause unnecessary attention.”
He added, “If indeed he was under investigation and had been reporting, and had not done anything to suggest he was absconding, then I would expect that he could have been arrested at a more appropriate time before he attempted to travel.”
“Ordinarily, when you are under investigation, you should know, particularly when you have been admitted to bail, you cannot leave the jurisdiction. Your movements are relatively curtailed.”
Justice Abdulai noted that circumstances surrounding Miracles Aboagye’s arrest raise questions about whether the restrictions, if any, had been properly communicated to him and his legal team.
“I do not know how this one went such that this information was not revealed to him.”
Justice Abdulai asserted that communication between investigators and suspects is essential to avoid situations that could lead to misunderstandings during ongoing investigations.
Meanwhile, Dennis Miracles Aboagye has been granted bail following his arrest by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to the Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, Dennis Miracles Aboagye has reportedly been granted bail in the sum of GH¢50 million with three sureties.
Richard Ahiagbah expressed hope that the bail conditions would be met or varied to enable Miracles to secure his release.
Speaking on the Channel One Newsroom, Richard Ahiagbah stated, “My earlier briefing was GH¢50 million with three sureties. I hope that condition is either met or varied for him to be granted bail”.
