The Member of Parliament for the Madina constituency, Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu has reportedly been arrested.

According to the report, the MP was arrested on Thursday, November 3, 2022, for flouting road traffic regulations.
“The lawmaker, who broke the law, was arrested on 3rd November 2022 after he was seen driving in the middle of the road around the Airport in his vehicle with registration number GB-9776-21 with no regard for law-abiding pedestrians and other road users,” the report said.

He was subsequently charged with “careless” and “inconsiderate driving”.
