The Police in a statement described the protest as an unlawful assembly.
It has therefore cautioned persons or groups to desist from engaging in unlawful assemblies.
Background
Some youth in the Odododiodoo constituency, on Saturday, staged an angry protest over the nomination of former Deputy Greater Accra Minister, Elizabeth Kwatsoo Sackey at Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE).
The angry youth who are known members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) blocked the Atta Mills High Street.
They burnt car tyres amid chanting of war songs and shouts of ‘no Adjei Sowah, no vote’ and no Adjei Sowah, no Mayor’.
The youth said they will not accept any appointment short of the mention of Adjei Sowah as Accra Mayor.
Key among the protesters was popular boxer cum musician, Braimah Kamoko famously known as Bukom Banku.
He stated that they will kick against the appointment of any person if not Adjei Sowah.
It took the intervention of officers and men from the Jamestown Police to plead with them to stop the burning of the tyres on the road and also to allow traffic flow.
