According to him, the Police Service handled the protestors with a "high level of professionalism".
He stated that the police were professional in the face of what appeared as extreme provocation on the side of the demonstrators.
He stated this whilst delivering his address at the 75th GJA Awards in Accra on Saturday, 28th September 2024. "I want to commend the Ghana Police Service for exhibiting a high level of professionalism and restraint during the recent three-day protest against galamsey by some individuals.
We note some excesses and provocations that occurred during the demonstration, and the GJA condemns these excesses," the GJA President said in his address at the 75th GJA Awards in Accra.
