The Ghana Bar Association has raised concern over an attempt to arrest a lawyer on court grounds while the lawyer was representing a client, Graphic Online reports. The association's complaint was reported on Friday, September 25, 2026.
According to Graphic Online, the attempted arrest took place at court premises. The report does not name the lawyer or the client, and it does not identify the officers involved.
The same reporting period produced related coverage of an attempted arrest involving a member of Parliament. MyJoyOnline reported that Ghana is set to discuss the attempted arrest of the MP alongside a water debt matter. GhanaWeb reported that public figures criticised the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over that attempted arrest, describing it as unprofessional law enforcement and retrogression.
In further GhanaWeb coverage, the Manhyia South MP accused Raymond Archer of extorting money to kill stories while serving at EOCO. GhanaWeb also reported that Baffour Awuah gave his account of why he drove off during the attempted EOCO arrest.
The Bar Association's statement focuses on the court setting, where lawyers carry out duties for clients. The reports cited here do not say what offence, if any, was under investigation in the lawyer's case, nor whether any arrest was eventually carried out.
Watch for a fuller response from the Ghana Bar Association and any statement from the law enforcement body named in the related reports.
