Police arrest protestors of Occupy Julorbi House demonstration (Video)
The initial picketers have been detained and escorted to the Cocobod police station. Initially, the Democracy Hub-led organizers had intended to hold a protest near the Jubilee House from Thursday, September 21, to Saturday, September 23, 2023. They had also informed the police of their preparations.
The police said in a statement on September 20, 2023, that they had petitioned the court for an injunction to stop the #OccupyJulorbiHouse rally and were awaiting the court’s ruling before taking any further action.
The Ghana Police Service issued a second statement claiming that serving documents had been given to the organizers’ attorneys in response to the protest organizers’ claim that they had not been served.
On September 21, some Ghanaians who attended the scheduled protest were detained by the Ghana Police Service early that morning and sent to the police station by bus.
On September 21 at 6 a.m., police and additional security were gathered in front of the Jubilee House.
