Commenting on the arrest, former Member of Parliament for Adenta and now a member of the Movement for Change, Yaw Buaben Asamoa said in an interview on Joy FM that the arrest is politically motivated.
He said “Hopeson Adorye is not about to run away from Ghana or from his home because the police intend to charge him with the publication of false information.
“So, to go to the extent of keeping him all day in the police station and bringing him over to the Ministries to detain him, you point fingers backward at yourself that there is something political at play and it’s not fair,” he said.
“This is obviously politically motivated, there is no doubt about that,” he emphasized.
