Without a warrant, we can make an arrest – Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP)

Without a warrant, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is legally permitted to detain persons of interest.

In its response, the OSP cited a recent judgment from a human rights court. The Special Prosecutor or its representatives were not permitted to arrest Charles Bissue, according to a temporary injunction issued by the court.

The OSP said in a statement that “The Office of the Special Prosecutor, in the exercise of its police powers, retains the ability to arrest individuals suspected of corruption or corruption-related offenses without a warrant.”

Charles Bissue’s legal team submitted a request, and Human Rights Court Judge Nicholas Abodakpi issued a temporary injunction barring the OSP or its employees from enforcing a purported arrest warrant against Bissue.
