According to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), it possesses the authority to arrest suspects of interest without a warrant.
This revelation comes as a response to a recent interim injunction secured by Charles Bissue which prohibits the Office of the Special Prosecutor and its representatives from carrying out an alleged arrest warrant against Bissue.
The order for the injunction was granted by an Accra Human Rights Court, presided by Justice Nicholas Abodakpi.
However, the OSP clarified its position on Twitter shortly after a Human Rights Court granted an interlocutory injunction restraining the Special Prosecutor or its assigns from arresting Charles Bissue.
The court also prohibited the Special Prosecutor from seeking further arrest warrants and publishing notices suggesting that the applicant is wanted, pending the determination of the substantive matter.
The injunction will remain in effect for 10 days, and the case has been adjourned until June 22, 2023.
This comes after Special Prosecutor declared Charles Bissue, the former Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), as a wanted individual.
