The Ghana Police Service has assured the public that it has put in place adequate security measures ahead of a major three-day protest set to take place in Accra from October 3 to 5, 2024.
The protest, organized by the group Concerned Citizens Against Galamsey, seeks to advocate for the release of 53 anti-galamsey activists who were arrested and detained last week.
In a statement issued by Assistant Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the Police outlined the routes approved for the demonstration and reminded the organizers of their obligations under the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491).
The demonstration will start at Okponglo near the University of Ghana Sports Stadium and proceed through several key points in the city, including the Kanda Highway, Ridge Hospital, and Parliament House, before ending at the Accra Sports Stadium.
