Hon. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, MP for the Effutu constituency, has been captured on video striking a police officer during the opposition New Patriotic Party’s #SaveTheJudiciary demonstration.
The protest, held in response to the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo by President Mahama, turned chaotic when a confrontation erupted between some NPP members and the police.
A video in possession of Awake News shows a heated exchange between Afenyo-Markin and the police, which reportedly escalated into the physical altercation.
Details surrounding what exactly triggered the clash remain unclear. As of now, Afenyo-Markin has not released an official statement regarding the incident.
Awake News is actively following the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
