The Chairman of the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has vowed to sue the police for ‘illegally’\u00a0arresting him on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mornah said the police had violated his human rights with the way they had treated him.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”7PlkZ1suezwySrvlIL6pQU4s9LaR6Ceh”]About 19 persons including Mr. Mornah were arrested<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0by the Nima Police on Saturday morning when they gathered as members of the Ghana-Togo Solidarity movement to hold a peaceful march to draw the attention of local and international authorities to the political crisis in Togo.<\/p>\n

According to the Police, they had earlier permitted Bernard Mornah and his group to undertake the peace march, however, they informed him later to cancel it<\/strong><\/span><\/a> due to operational challenges and intelligence that another group was trying to interrupt their activity.<\/p>\n

But Mr. Mornah denied the claim, saying that he assured the police the peaceful march required very little police presence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He said he had also told the police that the march could not be postponed because of the resources invested into its preparation.<\/p>\n

Bernard Mornah and those arrested were kept behind the police counter for hours without clarification about their exact offence.<\/p>\n

This prompted his counsel, Dr. Raymond Atuguba to write to the police<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, Chief Justice, Attorney General and the President over the matter, demanding details about the arrest.<\/p>\n

Bernard Mornah was however granted bail later.<\/p>\n

He has since told Citi News<\/strong> that his lawyers will serve the police notice of a legal action for the ‘unlawful’ arrest.<\/p>\n
