Democracy Hub demonstrators have been accused of engaging in actions aimed at disrupting the free flow of traffic and disturbing the peace in Accra.
This comes in the wake of the scuffle that occurred between the police and the demonstrators on Sunday, September 22.
The protest, which entered its second day today, has seen participants blocking major roads, including portions of the 37 Roundabout, causing significant traffic delays and inconveniences for commuters.
The protest, led by legal practitioner Oliver Barker-Vormawor, aims to push for reforms that they believe will improve governance for the betterment of the Ghanaian people.
The group has vowed to persist with their demands and ensure that the concerns of citizens are addressed.
On the first day of the demonstration, protesters blocked parts of the 37 Roundabout, causing significant disruption to traffic.
The police intervened swiftly to prevent any further disturbance to commuters and to maintain order on the road.
This action, however, did not sit well with the protest organisers.
In response to the events, the Ghana Police Service issued a press statement on Sunday, describing the actions of the protesters as “unGhanaian.”
The police stressed their commitment to maintaining peace and vowed to use all legal means to ensure that the demonstration does not compromise security or impede traffic flow in the capital city.
This statement sparked a backlash from the demonstrators, who condemned the police's characterisation of their actions as "unGhanaian".
They issued a counter-press statement, expressing disappointment in the "disrespectful language" of the police and defending their right to protest.
As tensions escalate, both sides remain firm in their positions.
The Democracy Hub protesters are determined to continue their demonstrations, while the police are equally committed to maintaining law and order, setting the stage for a potentially contentious final day of protests.
