The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Awutu Senya East, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, has called on Ghanaians to stand against injustice following her arrest and detention by the Ghana Police Service.
In an interview on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, she expressed her disbelief at the lack of explanation for her 16-hour detention and highlighted the unfair treatment of many Ghanaians, urging the public to rise against such injustices.
“I interacted with the inmates and it is a sad country where people will be on remand for two years, where people will be on remand for nine months, where people will be arrested because perhaps the boyfriend was arrested for stealing so the girlfriend becomes an accomplice and till date two years and more they are still sleeping in a cell.”
“It is a sad country. If you don’t have a voice, you cannot speak for yourself.
Detained overnight, Okunor’s incarceration sparked widespread outrage among NDC members and sympathizers.
