The president of the National Democratic Congress, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo was arrested.
Sources at the police headquarters revealed the arrest to Joy News and added that a search was being conducted at the president's residence.
The arrest comes after Ampofo's refusal to honor an invitation to report to the Director General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, to help him investigate the recent wave of kidnappings and arson in the country.
According to correspondence that invited him, a suspect accused him of being behind the kidnappings in the country, which prompted the police to invite him to participate in their investigations.
But the president declined the invitation. His lawyers called the invitation "political harbadment" and "intimidation".
On Monday, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Mr. Ampofo, but members of his party have pledged to support their president and resist any attempt to stop him.
During the celebrations of the 27th anniversary of the festival, Grand Accra Party President, Joseph Ade Coker dared the police to go from the front with what he says is an attempt to intimidate Mr. Ofosu Ampofo.
He said: "We all know what is happening in this country and we are waiting for anyone who thinks he will come and do something wrong, he will see the power of the NDC.
"I am confident that in the coming days we will all come together and be sure to show the power of NDC. I think for a long time we have become very sleepy, so it's time for us to find our teeth, "he said.
Mr. Ofosu Ampofo is already on trial for conspiracy to badault a public officer and conspiracy to cause harm after it was secretly recorded, which would expose plans to cause chaos.
After his arrest, NDC MP James Agalga, in an interview with The Pulse on Joy News, said the arrest was an irresponsible maneuver and an attempt to intimidate and harbad the NDC.
"We will not be intimidated or harbaded," he told Gifty Andoh Appiah
He believes that the rights of the President are violated and wonders why the police will not allow the case before the courts to invite him to participate in the investigation of a kidnapping case they had already clbadified.
According to Agalaga, the government is trying to put the innocent president on the heels of insecurity in the country.
"We will not accept that the national president has rights and that he will appear in court … they believe they have discovered new evidence, let them amend their indictment."
"But they can not continue to use the state apparatus in the way they try to use it … to harbad and intimidate our president," he added.
According to Agalaga, the arrest of the president will only increase insecurity in the country.
