Supporters of the largest opposition party in Ghana, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), have massed up at the Accra Mall to begin the much-anticipated street protest dubbed ‘March For Justice’.
The protest is to demand justice for persons who lost their lives as a result of “state-sponsored thuggery” – as the NDC puts it – in the hands of the police and military under the current administration.
It is under the auspices of the Youth Wing of the party.
Some of the protesters have shared their concerns on the motivation to join the demonstration.
Member of Parliament for Buem Constituency and a former National Organiser of the NDC Kofi Iddie Adams has also stated reasons he joined the street protest.
So far, a few supporters have gathered at the converging point for the demonstration, which will culminate in two petitions presented to the President, first, and then the Speaker of Parliament.
Some of the placards captured from the grounds mentioned some of the victims of the recent police-cum-military brutalities: ‘Abdallah Ayaric deserved to live’, ‘#We are all Kaaka’, among others
Security forces are also on the ground to provide the necessary security for a peaceful protest.
