Docket against Afenyo-Markin ‘ready’ – Deputy AG

The Deputy Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Justice, Justice Srem-Sai, has hinted that an investigation into an alleged assault by the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament (MP) for Effutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, is ongoing.

According to the Deputy AG, the docket on the case — The Republic v Alexander Afenyo-Markin — has been handed over to the Office of the Attorney General.

He hinted that the Attorney General would now have to make a decision on whether to prosecute the case or not.

“I can confirm that the docket on the case — The Republic v Alexander Afenyo-Markin — is at the Office of the Attorney-General awaiting prosecutorial review and decision.

“The case involves a complaint of assault,” Justice Srem-Sai wrote on X on November 7, 2025.

Justice Srem-Sai’s disclosure comes after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service announced that a review of video footage and other evidence found no proof that Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin was assaulted by a police officer during the Save the Judiciary protest.

The update was shared in a series of posts sighted by GhanaWeb via X on Thursday, November 6, 2025.

“The CID has announced a major finding in the assault case against Minority Leader Afenyo-Markin, stating that a review of video footage and other evidence found no proof that the MP was assaulted,” the post stated.

It further indicated that the CID has forwarded the docket on the alleged assault case to the Attorney General.

“The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has forwarded the docket on the alleged assault of a police officer by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to the Attorney General, noting the MP’s failure to provide a medical report,” it noted.

The incident reportedly occurred during the Save the Judiciary protest on May 5, 2025, when the Member of Parliament for Effutu claimed that a police officer assaulted him.

In a press statement, Afenyo-Markin said he had lodged a formal complaint and petitioned the Inspector General of Police to “investigate and institute disciplinary action against the said policeman.”

Afenyo-Markin identified the officer as Constable Forson, describing him as a “tall, fair, and heavily built officer.”

He further explained that it was “an unprovoked act of violence against him by a uniformed police officer” when the Save the Judiciary protest reached Parliament House.

Afenyo-Markin lodged the complaint after viral videos captured him hitting a police officer during the Save the Judiciary protest.
