The Greater Accra NPP has vowed to camp outside police stations if nurse Salomey Awity Baffoe remains detained for more than 24 hours. Chairman Dr Bernard Okoe Boye announced the party's plan to petition the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, along with the Inspector-General of Police and the Director-General of the National Signals Bureau.
Salomey, a senior nurse, faces charges of abetting the publication of false news in connection with the Ghana Jollof controversy. She denies the allegations and has requested a release to care for her children. The party is prepared to continue its protest and garner international support for the case. Dr Okoe Boye raised concerns about the lack of proper legal procedures in Salomey's detention, specifically citing the absence of her right to a fair hearing and the principle nemo judex in causa sua, which prohibits anyone from being a judge in their own case.
