Lawyer for the NDC Communications Officer expressed his dissatisfaction with the arrest.
However, Mr. Gyamfi declined the invitation by the CID and later through his lawyers sued to stop the police from examining his phone records and gaining access to his Facebook account.
The BNI gave the NDC spokesperson bail after it held talks with its National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo and Mr Tony Lithur, Mrs. Marietta Brew Appiah – Opong, Edudzi Tamakloe, Mr Abraham Amaliba and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
