This follows the several failed attempts by the police to arrest the legislator alleged to have breached the law during a recent demonstration exercise by residents of Oyarifa and its environs.
Police could not arrest the MP on two occasions, while attempts to invite Sosu through the Speaker of Parliament were denied.
The Speaker of Parliament subsequently described the actions by the Police as a breach of law.
The MP organised a demonstration exercise on October 25, 2021, for some of his constituents to express their displeasure over the poor nature of their roads.
