The 27-year-old New Patriotic Party (NPP) sympathizer who was arrested and detained for alleging that former President Rawlings set fire to his Ridge residence, appears before court today.

Nana Darkwah has been charged with spreading fear and alarm and his lawyers will be seeking to get the charges against their client dropped.

Nana Darkwah, who is on a GH˘400 bail, was released shortly after the Minority in Parliament boycotted proceedings to protest his incarceration.

Although his arrest has been criticized by many including the Committee for Joint Action (CJA), Nana Darkwah’s comments have widely been condemned as irresponsible.
