As a result, the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange road has been closed, with no movement from either vehicles or persons.

Meanwhile, the Police have called for reinforcements to deal with the situation.

It has, however, disclosed that the tension started when the protesters started pelting stones at their officers.

According to the Police, the "behaviour is unacceptable and must be condemned."

What a shame, we were there to protect you and ensure your safety, but you throw stones at us, injure and hurt us.

This behaviour is unacceptable and must be condemned. pic.twitter.com/8FGeycExJD
