The court commissioning ceremony came a few days after the Effutu MP was involved in a physical altercation with a police officer during the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) SaveTheJudiciary demonstration in Accra on Monday, May 5, 2025.
During the demonstration, the minority leader got physical with an officer when some Ghana Police Service personnel attempted to stop the movement of the protestors as they demonstrated against the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo and called for her reinstatement.
President John Dramani Mahama suspended the Chief Justice following the establishment of a prima facie case in response to three separate petitions which sought her removal from office.
In a viral video on social media, Afenyo-Markin struck the police officer as tensions between the protestors and the security forces arose.
The police reportedly invited the Minority Leader of Parliament to assist in investigations after the unfortunate incident. He later released a press statement where he denied getting physical with the police officer in the video.
