The Ghana Police Service has arrested three protesters of the ongoing demonstration by the pressure group, Arise Ghana.
The three were allegedly picked up for their involvement in the tension that has characterized the demonstration.
Already, reports reaching Myjoyonline.com had indicated that tear gas was fired at the demonstrators.
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.
