Speaking in an interview with Happy FM’s Nana Afrifa Mensah on the “Epa Hoa Daben” show he said: “I condemn acts by the police on law students. Their mandate is to maintain law and order. They were supposed to guard the demonstrators not intimidate them”.
He also called for a committee to be set up to probe into what ensued between the Police and Law students during the demonstration that took place on 7th October.
