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.

so how does an i-d-o-i-t like amaliba become a lawyer. it is always true that any ***barred word*** can have academic knowledge and credentials, but native wisdom is not common to anyone.
LAWYER AMALIBA IS NOT A RESPECTED LAWYER. DISCREDITED LAWYER

F00...lish NDC man ... go and arrest him..... You NDC guys are confused. Even Mahama who masterminded the murder of Prof Atta Mills is still free.....
'Ah, ah, ah, all these guys call themselves some leader of Ghana? No wonder!
You lose an election and you also lose all your senses as a rational human being? You people still cannot get over your defeat, Why? The country does not belong to you. You did all these things and still landed in opposition, yet you think you can do the same things and come back to power. How possible? You are simply digging deeper in opposition
Amaliba paa, when I say Amaliba is a ***barred word***, then the police would come and arrest you. Yoooo, do not be an educated ***barred word*** all because of politics. No wonder your wife was a ***barred word***.
I have always envied the law profession.But anytime if i listen to lawyers like Amaliba, my respect for the law profession diminished.
this lawyer is very ***barred word***.
