There was drama at the Accra Circuit where the 39 persons arrested during the anti-illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) demonstration by the Democratic Hub were arraigned on Tuesday, September 24, 2024.
Relatives of the arrested protestors were bemused by the fact that the police had been keeping their relations for more than 24 hours after their arrest.
A father of one of the arrested demonstrators could not hold back his frustration over the arrest of his son.
He wondered why his son would be arrested and kept in police custody while the person behind the galamsey menace, which is destroying the country's water, remained free.
