The Ghana Police Service has reopened major roads in Accra following a three-day closure due to a standoff with protesters from the Democracy Hub. The roads, blocked since September 21, 2024, were reopened on the evening of September 23 after failed negotiations over the protest route led to disruptions in the city.
The protest, organized by Oliver Barker-Vormawor, saw road closures in key areas as police attempted to maintain public safety and prevent further disruptions. Barker-Vormawor, along with about 40 protesters, was arrested for alleged unlawful acts during the demonstration.
During the road closures, traffic was redirected through alternative routes, including:
– Traffic from the Central Business District (CBD) to Independence Avenue, blocked at the AU Roundabout.
– Traffic from the AU Roundabout diverted to Castle Road, passing Ridge Roundabout towards the Kanda Highway.
– Traffic from Madina to Accra was redirected at the 37 Roundabout via Obasanjo Highway and Dr. Liman Highway (Kanda Highway).
The police thanked the public for their patience and assured them that law and order will be maintained following the reopening of the roads.
