Some Protestors of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse Have Been Arrested by the Ghana Police

Protesters participating in the ongoing #OccupyJulorbiHouse movement were apprehended earlier today at the 37 Trotro station, where they had assembled to march towards the Jubilee House. Among those detained is Barker-Vormawor, who is purportedly leading the demonstration.

According to Olele Salvador, the Ghana Police Service has allegedly directed the arrested protesters, currently held at the Accra Regional Police Headquarters, to power down and hand over their mobile phones. This directive restricts any form of recording, photography, or phone communication.

While this unfolds, Joy FM is broadcasting music, and Citi FM is engaged in a discussion about the culinary preferences of Benin residents, all while a significant number of Ghanaian citizens face arrest for exercising their right to protest. This situation prompts reflection on the state of democracy and civic rights in the country.

Meanwhile, Ghanaians residing in the USA are staging their own demonstration in support of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse movement, demonstrating solidarity across borders. 🇺🇸 #OccupyJulorbiHouse.
