Thousands of Ghanaians on Tuesday joined the much-awaited #OccupyBoG demonstration in Accra to demand the dismissal of the Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Ernest Addison and his deputies for mismanaging the institution.
The over 8 hours demonstration which started at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange ended at the Art Centre near High Street in the Central Business District.
Organised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority caucus in Parliament, the organisers were to present a petition to the Governor, but met his absence.
Although the protesters were prevented from accessing the central bank on the basis that it is a security zone, the leadership of the party including the MPs were allowed access to present their petition to the governor.
However, a man who identified himself as the Head of Security at the Bank appeared to receive the petition with the excuse that the BoG Governor was in a meeting with officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
This has angered the leadership of the NDC who have vowed that the party will return to deliver the petition to the Governor.
Through the lens of Joy News' photojournalist, David Andoh, here are ten fascinating images from the mammoth protest.
