The arrest and prosecution of some of the members of the Democracy Hub for the alleged violation of the law during their protest last week was to maintain law and order by the Police, the Director of Communications of the New Patritoc Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah has said.
Mr Ahiag ah indicated that the demonstration degenerated into violent obstruction on the roads, destruction of public and private properties, and causing panic among road users.
The police therefore had a duty under the circumstances to maintain peace and order by fishing out the disruptive elements in the ranks of the protesters. "They may have arrested an innocent spectator or peaceful protesters.
When that is established, the police or the court must act quickly to free such people," he said on his X platform.
