Outspoken broadcaster, Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah has been released by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) several hours after his arrest on Wednesday night.
He was picked up at around Mile 7 near Achimota.
National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) Henry Nana Boakye who had earlier announced his arrest on Facebook, confirmed his release on the same medium.
He wrote: “We have just left the premises of National Security, and it is very disappointing to say that the arrest of Okatakyie Afrifa by National Security operatives after his exams this evening was completely unnecessary and unwarranted.
With thanks to the efforts of several individuals who intervened, he has been released. Free speech cannot be suppressed under the guise of an investigation. If that is the case, then National Security should be prepared to arrest all of us.”
