A protester of the #FreeTheCitizens and #SayNoTo protest made time to educate traders of the devastating effects of galamsey and the need for a call on the government to take an action to tackle the issue.

In a video, he could be heard urging the traders to join in the protest to march to the Accra Sports Stadium to call on the government to take an immediate action on illegal mining activities because the environment is the life of citizens.

The male protester said, "We are Ghanaians, we are Ghanaian women, we are saying that they should stop the galamsey.

All of you traders are part of it.
