Actress Efia Odo and 14 other #FixTheCountry campaigners
have been arrested by the Ghanaian police.
They were arrested
after they came to court to witness the final ruling between #fixthecountry
campaigners and the Ghana Police service. The court case centered on if the
group should be allowed to stage a street protest.
After hearing
legal arguments on Friday morning, the High Court adjourned proceedings to
deliver a ruling at 1:30 pm. During the period when the legal arguments were
going on, some of the campaigners pitched camp in front of the law court
complex holding placards .
However after they
were joined by their colleagues who were in the court room after the
proceedings, police officers from the Accra Region Command arrived and arrested
more than 10 of them while they were taking photos.
The campaigners
who have in the last two months demanded that government fixes what they said
is, worsening living conditions in the country, have been met with stiff
resistance from the Ghana Police Service, which has cited prevailing Covid-19
restrictions as reasons for not allowing them to protest.
