Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the Communications Director for the Bawumia Campaign, has called on Inspector General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohunu to reflect on his legacy and confront what he describes as a troubling pattern of selective law enforcement.
Mr. Aboagye delivered his remarks during a morning interview on JoyNews, speaking with urgency and conviction.
He challenged the Inspector General of Police to reflect on whether he would be proud of the legacy he leaves behind, cautioning that time is running out to rebuild public trust and uphold the principles of equal justice.
His comments come amid growing national anxiety over rising security threats and what many perceive as uneven enforcement of the law.
“For me, that is the only concern I have. Mr. IGP, the time is ticking, the days are moving, and soon you will be on the other side as a civilian. Are you going to be proud of what you are leaving behind? In the past eight years, we have seen several IGPs come and go, and I am sure when they are home, they sit back and ask themselves: Did I do it right?” I think the IGP needs to reflect and ask himself why he is selectively applying the law,” he said.
According to him, he believes the IGP is being biased on certain matters. He based his accusations on facts of recent events that happened during the Akwatia By-election, in which a member of the National Democratic Congress, Sofo Azorka, attacked Afenyo Markin.
“We were here when Azorka threatened Afenyo Markin on live TV. They said he had been arrested, but to date, nobody knows when, how, or where that happened. Yet, just three nights ago and even this morning, the police released statements with suspects in handcuffs. We see Abronye every day moving around in handcuffs. How come we never saw the NDC man in handcuffs? How come those in the NDC who are threatening people across the country are moving freely? That is my concern. You are selectively applying the law, and that is not law—that is discrimination.
The most important thing is that the IGP should simply defer and apply the law equitably, with equal hands,” he argued.
