According to the report, South Korean investigators on Wednesday arrested impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol in his residence in central Seoul, according to a joint investigation unit.

The report said that a motorcade was seen leaving the gates of his hillside residence where Yoon has been holed up for weeks behind barbed wire barriers and a small army of personal security guards.

The report also said that earlier more than 3,000 police officers and anti-corruption investigators had gathered there before dawn, pushing through throngs of Yoon supporters and members of his ruling People Power Party protesting attempts to detain him.

The report added that Yoon is being arrested over insurrection allegations. His arrest is the first ever for an incumbent South Korean president. Investigators attempted to arrest Yoon in the presidential residence on Jan 3, but it failed as the presidential security service blocked the execution of the arrest warrant.

In addition to the report, a Seoul court granted the extension of the warrant to apprehend Yoon on Jan 7 by issuing the second warrant against the impeached president.

That was a shame being impeached and getting a jail, term. It is enough for him to be impeached, why should he be arrested when he also served Seoul with his utmost dedication, It was just one false action that destroyed his fate being the president. There might be a hidden agenda .

It is also inhumane to arrest a president. He served many years in his country. The impeachment alone is not easy to swallow by the impeached president of South Korea.
