“The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has forwarded the docket on the alleged assault of a police officer by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to the Attorney General, noting the MP’s failure to provide a medical report,” it noted.
The incident reportedly occurred during the Save the Judiciary protest on May 5, 2025, when the Member of Parliament for Effutu claimed that a police officer assaulted him.
In a press statement, Afenyo-Markin said he had lodged a formal complaint and petitioned the Inspector General of Police to “investigate and institute disciplinary action against the said policeman.”
Afenyo-Markin identified the officer as Constable Forson, describing him as a “tall, fair, and heavily built officer.”
He further explained that it was “an unprovoked act of violence against him by a uniformed police officer” when the Save the Judiciary protest reached Parliament House.
