  "summary": "Dennis Aboagye, the newly elected Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has linked Mustapha Gbande's EOCO arrest directive to concerns over selective justice. Gbande, the NDC Deputy General Secretary, admitted to directing the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to arrest Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah. Aboagye described the admission as \"unfortunate\" and questioned the authority of a non-security official to direct EOCO operations. He accused the government of selectively applying the law against opposition figures while allowing others to go free. Aboagye emphasized the need for law enforcement agencies to operate independently and apply the law equally, regardless of a person's political affiliation.",
