Amid the blaring sounds from audio systems, participants of the ongoing protest by the youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are expressing their opinions, demands, and messages through placards, addressing what the party describes as alleged state-sponsored harassment.

Some of the messages on placards carried by the protesters on September 23, 2025, directly target the government and President John Dramani Mahama.

“Ahab fell, Idi Amin fell, Mahama will fall too,” one placard read.

Another inscription, aimed at the president and the justice system, read, “Jezebel used false judges, Mahama uses ‘Chief Unjust Justice.’”

Other placards targeted security and law enforcement agencies, including the Ghana Police Service (GPS) and the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

“EOCO under Archer = Political Prosecution Office,” read a placard targeting EOCO’s current Executive Director, Raymond Archer, while another directed at the Ghana Police Service stated, “Ghana Police, protect the people, not Ahab’s throne.”

“EOCO, stop dancing to the NDC’s drums!” read another placard held by a protester.

The National Communications Officer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GOLDBOD), Sammy Gyamfi, was also targeted.

“Sammy Gyamfi = Master of Propaganda, beneficiary of galamsey,” one placard declared.

The protest, dubbed ‘Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna’ (We Have No Fear of Intimidation), was triggered by the arrest of Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman, who was detained on September 8, 2025, and charged with offensive conduct and publishing false news.

Beyond Abronye’s case, protesters say the demonstration reflects growing frustrations over the alleged intimidation and harassment of NPP members, including Chairman Wontumi (Bernard Antwi-Boasiako) and several social media activists.
