The Police say they have spotted a demonstrator, Joshua Akamba with a weapon among the crowd of demonstrators gathered around the El-Wak Stadium, today, Wednesday June 29.
“Police intelligence indicates that some demonstrators are going around acquiring catapults with the intention of using them during the demonstration,” the Police said.
The demonstrators are protesting what they believe are the harsh economic conditions in the country.
One of their leaders Peter Boamah Otokunor said they will continue to protest until President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo changes the way he is governing the country.
Speaking in interview with TV3’s Eric Mawuena Egbeta during Day 2 of the demonstration in Accra on Wednesday June 29, he said “There is going to be change, if we don’t get the change under Akufo-Addo, we will get it under the NDC.”
The Deputy General Secretary for the NDC added that “we will demonstrate over and over until Akufo-Addo changes. If he wants peace he should change the way he is managing the economy.
“We want jobs, the people are clamouring for jobs, if you give them jobs, you will get peace. If he can’t rule the country he should resign.”
