A member of the legal team for the Democracy Hub protesters, Nelson Amedewonu, has contradicted claims made by the Ghana Police Service, refuting allegations that a pregnant woman was among the protesters remanded by the court.
The Ghana Police Service, in a statement released on September 26, 2024, clarified that a pregnancy test conducted twice on Gloria Vera Louise returned negative results, suggesting she is not pregnant. "In the case of the alleged pregnant woman, Gloria Vera Louise, we would like to clarify that at the time of the arrest, there was no visible indication that she was pregnant.
Additionally, at no point during the arrest or subsequent interactions did the said suspect inform the Police of a pregnancy.
Again, there was no communication to the court of any such condition, either by herself or through her lawyers. "In order to establish the veracity or otherwise of the claim in the public domain of the alleged pregnancy, the Police took the initiative and sent her to the Police Hospital and an independent health facility for a thorough medical examination.
