The Police have described as shameful alleged attack on them by members of the Arise Ghana pressure group during the demonstration on Tuesday June 28.
The Police in a tweet said “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.”https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-3177501661880531&output=html&h=312&adk=2890845571&adf=1134073687&pi=t.aa~a.1181887546~rp.1&w=375&lmt=1656430108&rafmt=1&to=qs&pwprc=2902914568&psa=1&format=375×312&url=https%3A%2F%2F3news.com%2Fits-shameful-police-react-to-alleged-attack-on-them-by-arise-ghana-demonstrators%2F&fwr=1&pra=3&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=40&dt=1656430466314&bpp=4&bdt=8369&idt=-M&shv=r20220623&mjsv=m202206230101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Dbea6a3eee2561efb-22e1d10612d40035%3AT%3D1656430394%3ART%3D1656430394%3AS%3DALNI_MYrISd3VgsUCSwhpJfHqggqPM4JYQ&gpic=UID%3D00000970aa31a758%3AT%3D1656430394%3ART%3D1656430394%3AS%3DALNI_MZJlfh9KPtX3ORxS64B6MkAycKcsw&prev_fmts=0x0%2C375x312&nras=3&correlator=6891195465315&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1051027579.1656430393&ga_sid=1656430465&ga_hid=676775150&ga_fc=1&u_tz=0&u_his=1&u_h=812&u_w=375&u_ah=812&u_aw=375&u_cd=32&u_sd=3&adx=0&ady=1650&biw=375&bih=641&scr_x=0&scr_y=965&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759837%2C42531605&oid=2&pvsid=2624008408659843&tmod=1868311214&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F&eae=0&fc=1920&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C375%2C0%2C375%2C812%2C375%2C749&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=03sbEYHypz&p=https%3A//3news.com&dtd=14https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=3news_com&dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1541801379345403904&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2F3news.com%2Fits-shameful-police-react-to-alleged-attack-on-them-by-arise-ghana-demonstrators%2F&sessionId=4ff2c3e7c05198d7f94c4d8e1ca606b978e78f59&siteScreenName=3news_com&theme=light&widgetsVersion=b45a03c79d4c1%3A1654150928467&width=550px
The Police fired shots at some of the demonstrators after they were pelted with stones.
TV3’s Eric Mawuena Ebegta who witnessed the scenes reported that “The Police are still firing as individuals are still throwing stones at the Police.
“They are insisting on using the Ring Road through to the Presidency and the Police are refusing to allow them to do that which has resulted in the firing of tear gas and the use of water canon against the demonstrators. That is the current situation at the Obra spot in Accra.”data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==
In the early hours of the demonstration, Ningo Prampram lawmaker, Samuel Nartey George said that members of the pressure group will continue to put pressure on the government to do the right things.
