The New Patriotic Party activist who was arrested for allegedly slighting President Mills, has been released.
John Kumah was released after the president instructed the police to do so because he was not interested in the case.
The NPP youth activist is alleged to have insinuated that President Mills had been sharing one room with another member of the government, Mr Ato Ahwoi, a claim said to allude to homosexuality.
He is reported to have made the comments considered offensive to the president by the police on Saturday.
The police picked him up Wednesday afternoon.
But according to a Deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who spoke via phone to Asempa FM, the president on official tour of the Volta Region to assess flood ravaged parts of the region, called the police to tell them he was not interested in the case and asked that John Kumah be released.
