The Ghana Police Service has announced that the case file regarding the arrest of Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Awutu Senya East, is being sent to the Office of the Attorney-General for review and guidance.

According to a statement from the Service, Naa Koryoo was cautioned for "the offence of transfer of firearms without authority" and granted bail along with three others.

Naa Koryoo was detained at the Cantonments Police Station on Friday, June 7, following an invitation, which infuriated NDC supporters who subsequently gathered at the station to demand her release.

The police statement noted that she was arrested for possessing a firearm and for the stabbing of the son of Mavis Hawa Koomson, the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, in the early hours of Sunday, June 2, 2024.

Usman Haruna was also arrested in connection with the stabbing and has been remanded into police custody, scheduled to reappear in court on Wednesday, June 19, 2024.

Following Naa Koryoo’s release on June 8, the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, warned at a press conference that such arrests would not be tolerated in the future.
