MBABANE: There were more than one hundred (100) police officers and they were armed with a warrant, but South Korean authorities failed to arrest suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol after a six-hour deadlock outside his home, the British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC) reported on Friday.

“That's how long the confrontation with Yoon's security team lasted as they formed a human wall and used vehicles to block the arrest team's path, according to local media.It has been an unprecedented month for South Korean politics. Yoon's shocking yet short-lived martial law order was followed by an impeachment vote against him. Then came the criminal investigation, his refusal to appear for questioning and, earlier this week, a warrant for his arrest.The right-wing leader still has a strong support base. Thousands of them turned up outside his home on Friday morning to oppose his arrest.But, by many accounts, Yoon is now a disgraced leader impeached by parliament and suspended from office, he awaits the decision of the constitutional court which can remove him from office.So why has it proven so difficult for police to arrest him?”, the BBC reported.
