Addressing the press in Parliament earlier today, Mr. Iddrisu said the Minority MPs failed to show up in court because they were not served with any court summons.
He noted that the charged NDC MPs will not honour any “social media invitations” from the state.
“We don’t respond, and we will not respond to social media invitations by the Ghana Police Service. I have not been personally served as is the requirement of the law as well as many of my colleagues,” the Minority Leader said, as quoted by Citinewsroom.
“The Ghana police service is allowing itself to be used as a tool of manipulation,” Mr. Iddrisu added.
