Sosu files motion to stop ‘unlawful’ arrest

Madina MP Francis-Xavier Sosu has filed a motion at the high court in a bid to stop his “unlawful” arrest by the police.
Mr Sosu, a human rights lawyer, is praying the court for the enforcement of his right to freedom of movement, right to protest and demonstrate, right to personal liberty, right to freedom of expression, and right against unlawful arrest and malicious prosecution.
Accompanying the motion is an injunction application to restrain the police from any further attempt to arrest him until the human rights court makes a determination on the matter.
“An order that the attempt by the officers of the respondent to arrest me on 28th October 2021 without telling me the reasons for the arrest, was unlawful,” the motion said.
Mr Sosu filed the motion on Tuesday, 16 November 2021.
The matter is to be heard on Monday, 13 December 2021.
The police has been in a hide-and-seek game with Mr Sosu in an attempt to arrest him after he led his constituents to block some roads in Madina during a demonstration to bring attention to some bad roads in that constituency.
