The Greater Accra Regional Police Commander has invited actress Yvonne Nelson and two other conveners of an upcoming protest to a meeting on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
The meeting will discuss the modalities of Yvonne Nelson’s planned protest on Saturday, May 25, 2024, against power outages, dubbed # DumsorMustStop.
This was contained in a letter by DCOP Arhin Kwasi Annor in response to Yvonne Nelson’s earlier notice to the Inspector General of Police(IGP) on Monday, May 13.
In the letter addressed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, on May 9, 2024, the actress indicated that the vigil would take place at Revolution Square, starting at 8:30 am and ending at midnight.
The letter also expressed frustration over the unacceptable power supply situation and aimed to provide the president with evidence of its debilitating effects.
Yvonne Nelson had previously invited Ghanaians to join her in a massive campaign against recent erratic power cuts in a tweet.
This call for action follows similar protests organized by Yvonne and several celebrities in 2015 to express displeasure over consistent power outages.
Yvonne Nelson hopes for a similar turnout this time and seeks the support of the general public for the imminent protest against ‘dumsor’.
