Human Rights advocates are accusing the police of flagrantly violating the rights of the woman who reported an alleged mass rape incident in Kumasi last week. Amina Mohammed, 24, has been in Police custody since Saturday when she was arrested. Police have described her rape account of what happened on October 11 in a Tamale-bound vehicle as a concoction and have refused bail for the woman. They say Amina can only be bailed by a relative or any person who has known her for a long time. She has exceeded the 48 hours in custody, the lawful span of time a suspect can be held by the police. Prof. Ken Attafuah, lawyer for the 24 year old, who himself is a human rights advocate says the action by the police is unconstitutional. He told Joy News’ Dzifah Bampoh, the police must release his client or take her to court. According to him, the bail condition set out by the police is alien to the country’s constitution, making it difficult for his client to receive bail. The person who Amina nominated to bail her declined because she was afraid, Attafuah said, adding, “the woman’s mother also declined this afternoon to come forward to post bail because she is afraid of being arrested by the police the way they arrested her daughter. “This is an exceptional condition unknown to our law which the police have imposed on Amina,” he said. He said the matter has taken a “humongous” dimension that it is proving difficult for family members of Amina to post bail for her. “It is not a requirement of the law that a person must be a relative or be known to a suspect for a long time,” he said. Prof Attafuah said his client has not been charged for any offence making it difficult to understand why she is being kept beyond the 48 hour rule. According to him Amina was “limping, looking frail, haggard, tired, looking sickly and complained of dizziness and stomach ache.” “It is a very disturbing situation. No one who is invited by the police to assist in their investigations and who is not told that she is under arrest and not told any reason for her detention should be subjected to the kind of treatment Amina is being subjected to,” he lamented. He said he will be heading to court on Tuesday to demand the release of his client. Lawyer, gender and human rights activist, Nana Oye Lithur described the situation as "worrying" and "unacceptable". She told Joy News, the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) must intervene in the matter. She said detained persons have a right, saying the police’s demand for a relative to post bail for Amina is “foreign to our law.” Even though she supports the police in their bid to unravel the mystery behind this incident, she said the rights of Amina must not be infringed upon in the process.
