The Ghana Police Service has invited Hon. Alexander Afenyo-Markin to assist in an investigation. This follows a video that allegedly shows him assaulting a police officer. The incident occurred during the recent “Save the Judiciary” demonstration in Accra.

Police officials reviewed multiple videos from the protest. They decided to request Hon. Afenyo-Markin's cooperation based on their findings. The involved officer, Constable Forson, will also help with the investigation.

The police have written to the Speaker of Parliament. They requested Hon. Afenyo-Markin's release for this ongoing investigation.

The demonstration took place near Parliament and had a heavy police presence. There were brief tensions as protesters called for judicial independence and raised concerns about executive overreach.
