In a reaction shared online, Etuoaboba downplayed reports circulating in sections of the media, suggesting that the situation involving the MP is not as severe as it has been portrayed.
According to him, much of the information being shared publicly is being exaggerated due to limited communication and speculation surrounding the case.
He urged the public to be cautious about drawing conclusions based on unverified reports, insisting that panic and misinformation were being unnecessarily fuelled online.
Claims of personal communication with MP
Etuoaboba further revealed that he had personally communicated with Ohene Kwame Frimpong following his reported arrest.
He claimed the MP assured him that “everything is under control,” though he did not provide additional details regarding the nature of their conversation or the current legal process.

His comments have since sparked further discussions online, with some users questioning the basis and timing of such assurances, given the international nature of the case.
Call out over speculation and by-election talk
The content creator also criticised individuals and commentators who, according to him, were already speculating about a possible by-election to replace the MP.
He described such discussions as premature and insensitive, arguing that due process must be allowed to take its course before any political conclusions are drawn.
