SOUTH Korean officials are attempting to arrest president Yoon Suk Yeol for a second time in weeks after his failed martial law declaration.
Impeached Yoon is a wanted man for allegations of abusing his power with his official residence surrounded by 1,000 riot cops again today, according to BBC.
Police are enacting an arrest warrant placed on the disgraced president after he was charged with insurrection over his failed attempt to impose martial law.
A pre-dawn standoff is in place outside Mr Yoon’s official residence between authorities and the president’s security service.
Police are trying to access the hillside villa and detain Mr Yoon – but doing so is, once again, proving difficult.
Security staff fortified the building ahead of the latest arrest attempt, creating a ‘barrier’ inside the gates by parking buses and large vehicles against them at around 5am on Wednesday local time (8pm Tuesday, UK time).
Amid officials’ attempts to gain access, some ruling party lawmakers have formed a human chain to block them, Yonhap News Agency said.
