Enoch Afoakwah, lawyer for Percival Kofi Akpaloo, leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), has provided an update on his client following his arrest by officers of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Wednesday, September 3, 2025.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Afoakwah said Mr. Akpaloo was picked up around 10:00 AM after EOCO officers reportedly visited his residence in Kumasi.
“When I heard about it, I immediately went to the EOCO office. By around 1 to 2 PM, my client was brought in, and I ensured that all legal processes were followed properly,” he explained.
The lawyer praised EOCO for their professionalism, adding, “The officers were very diplomatic in handling my client. I cannot say they violated any of his fundamental human rights. They treated him well throughout.”
Mr. Afoakwah also detailed the interrogation process, noting that the session ended around 8:00 PM; hence, his client could not be released.
“They kept him in custody overnight,” he said.
He further indicated that he will visit the EOCO office on Thursday morning to oversee arrangements for his client’s bail.
Though the specific reasons for Mr. Akpaloo’s arrest remain unclear, he is reportedly taken to Accra to assist investigators with ongoing inquiries.
EOCO has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
