Activist Field Marshall Ayi has revealed that he was not informed of the reason for his arrest until he appeared in court.
He was part of the 53 protestors who were granted bail last week after public uproar.
Speaking on JoyNews' The Law on Sunday, October 13, Mr Ayi recounted his unexpected arrest on Monday, September 23-the final day of an anti-galamsey protest.
According to him, he was not near the protest grounds at the time of his arrest. "On Monday, one of our colleagues came to pick me up from Dzorwulu, on our way, that's when we heard that most of our guys were being arrested so those were not picked up yet, we decided to converge and decide what we were going to do forward.
