Renowned broadcast journalist has slammed the National Peace Council for its response to the arrest and inhumane treatment of anti-galamsey protesters by the Ghana Police.
The National Peace Council, bowing to public pressure for its perceived silence on the ills in the country and the arrest of protesters, released a statement to address the issue.
In their statement, the council described the arrests as 'alleged,' which sparked public outrage on social media regarding the council's demeanor and seemingly unperturbed behavior. "The National Peace Council is aware of the ongoing political situations in the country including alleged arrests of demonstrators on the streets of Accra and want to assure the public that @PeacecouncilGH is working with relevant stakeholders to find redress to the situation.
We take the opportunity to assure all Ghanaians and the people of Ghana, that our commitment to safeguarding peace, justice, and the well- being of every Ghanaian remains unwavering," the statement said.
