Solomon Owusu, Senior Communicator of the Movement for Change, claims the recent arrest of protesters by the police is an agenda by the ruling (NPP) to divert the attention of the masses from the galamsey fight.

During a discussion on TV3's New Day about the arrest of protesters, Solomon Owusu mentioned that the protesters will be released soon. "This whole persecution is being done with the assistance of the (NPP).

They are the ones pushing this whole agenda to divert the attention of the general public from the galamsey menace," he alleged.

He emphasized that these protesters will not die in police custody because the government knows that if any harm befalls any of these arrested protesters, there will be chaos. "Nobody will die; they will come out and still continue the fight.
