Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah, a well-known political commentator and broadcast journalist, has been arrested by the Ghana Police Cyber Crime Unit.
Eyewitnesses say that the cops confiscated mobile phones belonging to the former Angel FM presenter, and took him to his home to conduct a comprehensive search.
This arrest follows a similar event last week in which Okatakyie Afrifa was arrested by National Security operatives.
The Minority in Parliament had condemned the arrest among others, describing it as a “Rambo-style” intimidation tactic.
The previous arrest had sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for the government to respect the rights of citizens and freedom of expression.
Okatakyie Afrifa was later released, but the incident left many wondering about the government’s intentions.
The latest arrest has raised more questions than answers.
The Ghana Police Service has yet to release an official statement on the arrest, but sources close to the matter indicate that details will be made public soon.
