Speaking during an interview on Joy FM on April 10, 2025, Afenyo-Markin revealed that following discussions with the NIB, an understanding was reached to manage the situation in accordance with proper legal and institutional channels.
He stated that official communication had been sent to the Speaker of Parliament and emphasized the importance of following the appropriate process.
Afenyo-Markin urged for patience, noting that those in power should be mindful of upholding justice and procedure, as political roles are not permanent.
“Let us allow due process. One day, you may be out of power, and you’ll be calling for due process. That is my message to my colleagues,” he said.
He also noted that Minority leadership had initially raised concerns about how the situation was being handled, particularly with regard to bypassing parliamentary norms when attempting to detain the MP.
Clarifying public speculation, Afenyo-Markin stressed that there was no attempt to obstruct law enforcement but rather a demand that constitutional and procedural guidelines be respected.
He said the NIB accepted these concerns and agreed to proceed accordingly.
