Police in violent clash with #FixTheCountry protesters at High Court

Personnel of the Ghana police were engaged in some clashes with #FixTheCountryNow protesters who had gone to court for the hearing of an anti-demonstration injunction.

Over a dozen protesters stormed the court in #FixTheCountryNow shirts, placards and Ghana flags.

However, the police on duty prevented them from entering the premises of the High Court with placards.

This led to a stand-off as videos circulating on social media showed one police in heated exchanges with a lady.

The court presided over by Justice Ruby Aryeetey was informed about the incident, and she subsequently directed the convenors who are the respondent in the case to come to the court individually.

Six of the #FixTheCountryNow convenors subsequently entered for the hearing.

They were: Samuel Alex Kudzordzie, Felicity Nelson, Bashiratu Kamal, Agyapong Foster, Darko Benjamin and Adakye Brownson

Meanwhile, the case has been adjourned to Monday, June 7, 2021.

The Greater Accra Police Operational Commander, ACP Kwasi Ofori, explained that placards were not permitted in court, hence the restriction by the police on duty.
