There is anger on Ghana's social media space following the today's deadly incidents at Ejura in the Ashanti region where young people clashed with security forces.

The outrage is a combination of issues triggered by the killing of three persons by a joint military and police force deployed to Ejura to restore calm after irate youth stormed the street to protest the death of Ibrahim Mohammed, an activist who was a member of the #FixTheCountry campaign.

The president, at a point, trended number one on Twitter with some persons hitting at him for not delivering on his promise to secure Ghana.
