President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has denied claims that he has problems with protests in Ghana.

Ghanaian youth hit the streets of Accra to register their displeasure at illegal mining that has destroyed water bodies and forest reserves in the country.

Some of the protesters were arrested by the police and subsequently remanded by an Acra circuit court.

On social media, #freethecitzen has been calling on the President and people in authority to release the protesters whose crimes were just to protest against illegal mining in the West African country.
