National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, has questioned the fairness of the police in handling offenders at demonstrations after some supporters of the National Chief Imam broke public order on Friday, October 4, 2024, during a protest march in Accra against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.
It was a two-way confrontation that evolved from what was reported as the impatience of some youth who were leading the convoy of the National Chief Imam home from his Friday prayers.
This was after their prayers, which was ahead of what is believed to be the Chief Imam's annual 'Maulid-deen' festival to be held on Saturday, October 5.
As reported by GhanaWeb's George Ayisi, since the first day of the protest, the protesters, while on their usual route, would tarry a while longer at the Kawukudi Junction before continuing with their protest.
