Only authorized law enforcement agencies, such as the police, can effect arrests. Additionally, the legal process requires that suspects be taken through the proper channels, including investigation, charges, and trial, rather than being marched straight to the Supreme Court.
Furthermore, it’s essential to note that, under the law, Cecilia Dapaah remains innocent until proven guilty. As such, no individual or entity can restrict her movement or hold her passport. She remains free to travel anytime, as long as she’s not restricted by a court order.
As the journalist aptly put it, “We deal with law, not Operation Recover All Loot.” This statement underscores the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that due process is followed in all investigations and prosecutions.
