Meanwhile, the Vice-Chairman of Parliament’s Interior and Defence Committee has called for the arrest Mahama.
Collins Owusu Amankwah accused Mahama of inciting supporters of the NDC to cause trouble following his loss in the presidential elections.
According to him, the former president was behind the numerous demonstrations that have taken place across the country since the election results were announced.
“He [Mahama] should be arrested for instigating party foot-soldiers to perpetrate violence through demonstrations across the country after he lost the election,” Mr. Owusu Amankwah said, as quoted by Adomonline.

“If you are seen to be instigating party supporters to perpetrate violence by burning tyres and throwing stones, then he [Mahama] as a ringleader must be held responsible. So, he must be arrested to advise his supporters that enough is enough.”
