The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been banned from from embarking on further protests and demonstrations in Accra, a statement from the the Accra Regional Police Command has said.
A statement signed by the head of the Greater Accra Police Public Relations, Afia Tenge, on December 23, 2020, explained that the Police has secured a restraining order against the National Democratic Congress (NDC), banning the opposition party from embarking on further protests and demonstrations in Accra.
According to the statement, the prohibition order follows an affidavit filed by the Police upon receipt of notification from the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of NDC, Kobina Ade Coker, on the party’s intentions to stage protests in constituencies across the Greater Accra region.
The statement added that the Police cannot provide protection for the NDC during its protests because of “ongoing post-election and multifaceted security operations for the festive season and beyond.”
“The Accra Regional Police Command has secured a restraining order against the National Democratic Congress (NDC), from embarking on further protests and demonstrations in Accra. In a matter between the Republic (Ghana Police Service) and National Democratic Congress and Kobina Ade Coker, the High Court, under Justice Elfreda Amy Dankyi (Mrs.), has prohibited all NDC intended protests from Sunday 20th December, 2020 – 10th January, 2021,” the statement added.
