The #OccupyBoG demonstration led by the National Democratic Congress kicked off with thousands of protesters flooding the streets of Accra on Tuesday, October 3.
The assembly point for the demonstrators was the Obra Spot in Circle. From there, they embarked on a march down Adabraka Road leading to the City Centre.
They made stops at the BoG new headquarters and finally the main headquarters of BoG all in an effort to vent their frustrations and demands to the government.
Their primary objective was to demand the immediate removal of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Ernest Addison and his deputies.
Draped in black and red attire, the demonstrators raised their voices in chants with their placards adorned with a variety of slogans such as 'Addison Must Go,' 'Democracy Without Accountability' and 'Okronfour Addo' among others.
The Ghana Police Service also took preemptive measures to ensure the peaceful progression of the protest by deploying their personnel throughout the area.
Photojournalist Sammy Moore was on-site with the protesters and captured these vivid images of the passionate demonstration.
