“On March 14, 2024 around 3 am, some men masquerading as police officers broke into my room and dragged me out.

“I was threatened to be killed, where pistols were pointed to my head and I was told to say my last prayers. They beat me up and warned me never to speak about the president,” he said.

His arrest was believed to have been linked with some ‘derogatory’ remarks he made about President Akufo-Addo and his wife, Rebecca.
