Answering questions from the Member of Parliament for Kumbungu constituency on the floor of Parliament, Dery said an arrest warrant has been issued to pick up one of the suspects.
“Mr Speaker, I’ m aware of a report made by one ASP Nanka-Bruce, Director in charge of the VVIP at the Flagstaff House on 9th January 2017, in which he reported an assault on him by an ex-policeman named Mumuni Jabil and one Abu. The matter is currently under investigation by the Police CID and efforts are being made to get the suspects arrested.”
“…And an Accra Circuit court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Mumuni Jabil,” he added.
The Accra Circuit Court issued the warrant for the arrest about a week ago.
An earlier release signed by the outgoing Public Affairs Officer of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of Police, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Joseph B. Dankwah, said the suspect was alleged to have led a group of men to carry out the attack.
