President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo should have been arrested by the police for allegedly engaging in drug use which the laws of the country frown on, a private legal practitioner and member of the NDC has suggested.
According to Lawyer Abraham Amaliba, Appiah Stadium only acted as a whistleblower when he alleged the President is a drug addict and must be treated as such and not the suspect.
“Appiah Stadium alleges the President takes ‘wee’ or smokes ‘wee’ it is not a case of he pointing at somebody who is breaking the law?”, Lawyer Abraham Amaliba quizzed.
“Wee smoking, possession and trading is an offence. So who should rather be handcuffed? …If somebody says you engage in this, if there is handcuffs to be put on somebody who should wear it”, he further quizzed
According to the member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the proper thing police could have done is to invite Appiah Stadium to assist them investigate the President for being on drugs allegedly.
“If you are inviting the person to assist you in investigations you do not put the person in handcuffs”, Lawyer Abraham Amaliba stated on the GHOne State of Affairs.
Meanwhile, New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmaker and legal practitioner, Alexander Afenyo Markin, has condemned the mode of arresting the suspect saying "when it comes to the matter of law, you cannot give it political colourization”.
“Forget about whatever circumstances, I do not think going to arrest the man in handcuffs is the right thing to do”, the Effutu lawmaker opined condemning politics of insults.
“Sometimes we politicians we are funny. …if it is not about us we behave as if it is normal then we begin to talk about our reputation”, Hon. Alexander Afenyo Markin stated.

Amaliba doesnt cease to amaze me. NDC is in opposition because of persons like him and he is not realising it.
AND HE CALLS HIMSELF A LAWYER. SO HE DID NOT LEARN IN LAW SCHOOL THAT IT IS UP TO THE ACCUSER TO PROVE THE GUILT OF THE ACCUSED. THE MAN IS BEGGING THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE EVIDENCE TO PROVE AND HE IS TRYING TO DEFEND HIM. LET HIM FACE THE LAWS AND SEE IF HE WILL BE FREE. CALLING THE PRESIDENT MONKEY IS TANTAMOUNT TO CALLING ALL GHANAIANS ( INCLUDING HIMSELF ) MONKEYS. WHOEVER TRIES TO DEFEND APPIAH STADIUM IS MORE MONKEY THAN THE PRESIDENT.
THE LEOPARD DOES NOT LOOSE IT SPOTS JUST BECAUSE IT FALLS INTO A RIVER. ONCE A FUULL, ALWAYS A FUULL. EDIOTS CAN ALSO PASS LAW EXAMS. NOBODY SHOULD BE SURPRISED BY THIS AMALIBA WAY OF REASONING. AFTER ALL, HE IS FROM THE N.D.C STABLE
Oh Amaliba, why are you disgracing your NDC party? This sounds more like a serial caller talking and not a lawyer. You made these claims and yet lost badly. Don't you know that if you do the same thing over you get the same result? Ghanaians are looking at Nana's good governance and not your rantings.
Disgraceful.....
@ Kweku O don't doubt it.He has some gross and wicked hatred for Nana Addo.Everything he spews about Nana Addo doesn't make sense because politics and hatred is killing him.If not how can a lawyer spew such cabbages. Don't underestimate this guy because he is ever ready to disgrace himself because of the hatred he has for Nana Addo and that will continue to make him fuuullissh.Opposition party talk arrogantly like this to a sitting president wow.Look at these names. Kweku Boahen, AAB Fuseini,Amaliba,Felix Kwakye,Suhuini,Kofi Adams and Asiedu Nketiah.
Another full how makes no sense in spite of his education.
Is this mad guy really a barrister at law?does he have a mother?was he concieved fir 9 months ?awwww Anokwa ewuase y3hu ooo h3rrr amanfoo di nkelwasias3m paa oo. wh3 adiedu Nketsia panying ***barred word*** kwa.tge more These Ndc apoarachicks speak tge more they lose vites and the more the more they cinfirm ndc us a club for kobolors and thueves .Mugus
You guys should have been wise enough to know that Amaliba is acting like a day old child. @emma, why dont u clear the waves for us or better still join Amaliba to arrest Nana. @what a shame, indeed i like the name u used cos it best describes what u wrote, When people insulted JM, Rawlings and Mills did they arrest someone, if No then it means they gave way for more cos if there was an arrest with evidence it could have been an advise to others so the shameful aspect is our mode of politics is bad, a growing country like Ghana cant continue to be in politics of insults so something must be done to put a stop to it, with this any other government that will come to power will have the courage to arrest anyone who talk without reasoning, democracy must be a beautiful one without insults. This is the main reason why montie 3 should have enjoyed their sentence at nsawam well so that people will think before talking, this government wants evidence so add evidence to ur matter and bring it for prosecution. Amaliba is just a disgrace to the law school and i think his lecturers are disappointed in him cos he doesn't know what he studied
Now lawyers and communicators of NPP knows that politics of insult is bad. Where were this saints calling for people's head for insulting a sitting president when President Rawlings was called a vampire by NPP serial callers,were they not in this country when President Mills was called Prof.Do Little,sick man and all kind of names or when the current vise president called a sitting president an incompetent person,***barred word*** and things? where were they when Kennedy Agyepong was insulting others on the other side like Alhaji Bature to even hit his mother as well? This hypocrisy must stop. what is wrong then is wrong now and is still wrong tomorrow. Lets be serious as a people and stop this ***barred word***.
