The Ghana Police Service is investigating an alleged assault involving Mr. Alexander Afenyo-Markin. He is the Majority Leader in Parliament. The incident occurred during a recent public demonstration.
On Tuesday, the Police issued a statement about the investigation. The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) requested Mr. Afenyo-Markin's presence to assist with inquiries. He reported to the Police on May 7, 2025, as requested.
