I am surprised people are surprised about the turn of events in the Cecilia Dapaah matter. As long as Akufo-Addo and his NPP remain in office,no NPP wrongdoer will ever be held to account. If you want them held to account,boot them out in 2024.

Nana Addo and Bawumia using the court to free Cecilia Dapaah. I’m sometimes tempted to diss all those who voted for these people in 2016 and 2020 pic.twitter.com/O8EEwGnJTA

OSP V. Cecilia Dapaah.

Let’s face it, the OSP is turning into a reckless office with no sense of direction.

On the day that we allow one government body to make rubbish of Article 296, we are all doomed. pic.twitter.com/Zz05iVkflp
