The Ghana Police Service have filed an application at the court to prevent a group calling itself Democracy Hub from planning to demonstrate around the Jubilee House in Accra.
According to a statement from the Police, the group planned to demonstrate from Thursday, September 21 to Saturday, September 23, 2023, but per reports from the Police, the demonstration is on hold.
“As we wait for the court to determine the matter, we wish to urge the public to take note and disregard any calls from any individual or groups encouraging them to assemble for a demonstration at the Jubilee House”, the statement noted.
The Police further urged the organizers to respect the due process in the interest of public order and public safety.
The group, Democracy Hub, in the past weeks, has accused the government of mismanaging the economy and demanded better relief packages for the suffering Ghanaians.
The demonstration coincides with the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day, which is to be observed throughout the country.
On Tuesday, September 19, the organizers of the protest held a press conference to inform their members of the measures put in place to make the protest a success without any hitches.
They assured that all the necessary logistical arrangements have been put in place for protesters who would want to sleep over at the Jubilee House during the three-day period, including mattresses, tents, and mosquito nets.
