After a successful meeting between the Inspector General of Police James Oppong- Boanuh and the youth wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the Police Service has agreed to provide security for the planned ‘March for Justice’ demonstration.
The Police turned down a request by the NDC to provide them security for a planned demonstration which is meant to demand justice for Ibrahim Mohammed aka Kaaka and two other residents of Ejura.
The Police attributed their refusal to the ban on demonstrations and social gatherings due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The NDC fired back saying the Police would not be allowed to stand in their way of organizing the demonstration.
The IGP then requested to have a meeting with the leadership of the party’s youth wing and the Police have since agreed to allow them to organize the demonstration.
The Police in a notice said: “The Police are poised to provide the necessary security for the safety of the planned demonstration by the youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday 6th July 2021. The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. James Oppong-Boanuh has held a meeting with the organisers at the Police Headquarters, Accra on 2nd July 2021. All matters relating to the march were discussed and agreed, including the routes and COVID-19 protocols.”
Youth organizer George Opare Addo reacting to the latest development on Facebook said: “We are good to go! Ghana Police Service will provide security and ensure the safety of all. Be a citizen, let your voice be heard and anger felt. Join us on 6/07/2021 as we march for #Justice4All . Routes for the demonstration will be announced pretty soon!”
