Court foils police attempts to stop ‘Wongbo Demo’ - NPP

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has alleged the Ghana police wanted the court to block today’s demonstration, but were thrown out.

According to the General Secretary of the main opposition party, Kwabena Agyepong, they have hard core evidence to prove their claim, insisting all is set for today’s protest march against the worsening power crisis.

“The Police went behind us to get a court injunction [to restrain us] but the court threw them out,” Agyepong said at a press conference Tuesday. “I have in my possession court documents relating to the injunction application.”

The flagbearer of the NPP Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to lead the march that is expected to attract huge crowd including supporters of the CPP, NDP and PNC.

Meanwhile, the police have served notice they will deal with anyone who will cause trouble at the demonstration that will kick off from the Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle and end at the Hearts of Oak Park.
