According to him, the matter is now before the law, and only the courts and police can determine the truth after the full facts have been examined.

He explained that in some cases, people may live with their partners for years without truly knowing the details of what they do.

Because of that, he believes someone can find themselves caught up in a situation they may not have been fully aware of.

Afrane noted that once a high-profile case emerges, many claims and accusations usually begin circulating from different directions.

In his view, that is why the public should be careful about the conclusions they draw before the investigation is formally completed.

They should not be made part of the controversy simply because Patricia Osei Boateng is an actress.

“We are only hoping she is genuinely not guilty,” he said.

Afrane added that investigators may still invite such a person to assist with inquiries simply because of their relationship with the suspect.

In his view, that alone should not be taken as proof of wrongdoing, and he believes that, for now, patience is key.

He added that the most important thing is to allow the courts and the police to do their work while the truth gradually comes to light.
