The National Democratic Congress (NDC’s) Parliamentary Candidate for Awutu Senya East, Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunnor has been released after she was detained by the police on Friday.
The NDC PC was detained by the Cantonment Police in Accra to assist investigation over gun ownership.
Earlier, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama condemned the arrest and detention of the Parliamentary candidate for the Awutu Senya East, Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunnor.
The former President in a social media post stated that the Inspector General of Police and police service must allow themselves to be used by the government.
“There is no justification for the decision by the Inspector General of Police George Dampare, on the orders of the National Security Advisor, Albert Kan Dapaah, to detain a Parliamentary Candidate for the Awutu Senya East Constituency in Police custody.
“This action, taken on the instructions of the National Security Secretariat, will needlessly raise the political temperature in the country and spark avoidable tension.
“The Police Service and the IGP must not allow themselves to be used to hang the peace and stability of our nation months before crucial national elections.”
