According to reports, the Ghana Police Service has detained a few protesters who were involved in an assault on them during Arise Ghana’s #KromAyeShe march.
After being stoned by the protesters, the police opened fire with tear gas. According to sources, the marchers insisted on taking a prohibited route, which is why chaos broke out.
The Service called the event disgraceful and inappropriate in a tweet.
Attack on Police in the Ongoing Arise Ghana Demonstration
What a shame, we were there to protect you and ensure your safety, but you throw stones at us, injure and hurt us.
This behaviour is unacceptable and must be condemned. pic.twitter.com/8FGeycExJD
