Police secure restriction notice against anti-galamsey demo at Jubilee House

The Ghana Police Service has secured a restriction order against a three-day anti-galamsey demonstration scheduled to be held by a pressure group, the Generational Right Protection Society (GRPS), at the Jubilee House.

In a statement, the Police said the group has been notified of the application, which is expected to be heard at the Accra High Court on Friday, April 25, 2025.

The protest, led by media personality Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, is scheduled to take place from Monday, April 28, to Wednesday, April 30.

It seeks to demand urgent government action to curb irresponsible mining activities that are devastating Ghana’s forests, water bodies, and communities.

Afrifa-Mensah noted that the protest duration could be extended to a month, depending on how participants conduct themselves.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, he clarified that the protest should not be seen as an attempt to stir disaffection or make the government unpopular.

He vowed that, barring a court injunction, nothing would prevent concerned citizens from exercising their civil rights.
