Police arrest Michael Nii Yarboi over assault

Michael Nii Yarboi, a disqualified NDC Odododiodoo parliamentary aspirant, has been arrested due to a bench warrant issued against him for alleged assault.

He is accused of slapping a resident of James Town and an NDC branch executive.

The prosecution reported him for evading court proceedings.

Despite a previous adjournment, Yarboi failed to appear in court on June 24, prompting the bench warrant.

He has since been arrested and the case adjourned to July 8, 2024.
