NANA ONNWONA ASUAKO KWAPONG QUESTIONS GHANA’S LEGAL INDEPENDENCE AMID ABUTRICA CASE ON ICAD TV’s GHANA NTI MORNING SHOW- LAW EXPERT AND POLITICAL ANALYST

Nana Onwona Asuako Kwapong — who is a political analyst, international law expert, and royal from Obo Kwahu — has raised concerns over Ghana’s legal independence in relation to the Abutrica extradition case. Speaking on ICAD TV’s Ghana Nti Today morning show with Nana Nhyiraba Kwabena Asirifi, he questioned the legal basis of reports suggesting that the suspect could be extradited to the United States. He argued that Ghana’s extradition process must be guided by clear legal frameworks and strong evidence, stressing that any transfer of a citizen must be supported by a solid prima facie case. Kwapong further expressed concern about Ghana’s legal independence and sovereignty, noting that reliance on outdated arrangements could weaken the country’s authority in handling sensitive international legal matters. He called for consistency, fairness, and strict adherence to due process in all extradition-related decisions, emphasizing that Ghana must protect its legal system and ensure justice is properly served.
