Ernesto Kofi Yeboah, Abeiku Adams and a third person who is yet to be identified were protesting a proposal for the construction a Parliamentary complex at an estimated cost of $200 million.

They were released on bail by the Ministries police.

They were admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢2,000 with one surety. They were also cautioned and their statements taken.

Ernesto Yeboah yelled after K. T. Hammond, the MP for Adansi-Asokwa had said: "Parliament won’t sit under trees” in connection with the proposal to build the $200-million chamber."

But Professor Adei described what the leader of the Economic Fighters League did as "shameful and wrong".

In an interview on Accra-based Class FM, he said "I think what the young man did in parliament was shameful and wrong. I don’t think that you have to be rude and disruptive in order to make a point. Because of what I’m saying, it shouldn't appear that I support him because if he were my brother, I would have gone there and slapped him and say that: 'Please, mum and dad didn't teach us to behave that way."
