The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Awutu Senya East, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, has been released after hours of her detention by the Ghana Police Service.
The parliamentary candidate was arrested and detained at the Police CID Headquarters, following which party supporters stormed the police headquarters.
Naa Koryoo was detained at the Cantonments Police Station on Friday, June 7, upon invitation.
The presidential candidate of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama, responding to the arrest, said it would increase political tension in the country.
He demanded the release of the candidate, adding that there was a need for relevant stakeholders “to recognise that justice is not just a moral imperative but a crucial prerequisite for maintaining peace and stability in a nation.”
Naa Koryoo was released around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.
