Miracles Aboagye arrest: No suspect has the right to choose when or how they are arrested - Justice Abdulai
Justice Abdulai stated on Monday, July 13, in an interview on Joy FM's Top Story, that "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." His comments followed public debate over the arrest of Dennis Edward Aboagye, also known as Miracles, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Justice Abdulai acknowledged that an arrest should not appear intended to embarrass or attract unnecessary public attention. He added that if Aboagye was under investigation, had been reporting, and had not suggested he was absconding, he could have been arrested at a more appropriate time before attempting to travel. Investigators typically impose conditions on suspects granted bail, including movement restrictions, and inform them they cannot leave a specified jurisdiction without notifying investigators.
