The organisers of the #DumsorMustStop vigil have confirmed that the protest will take place today, Saturday, June 8.
Participants will gather at the frontage of the University of Ghana, Legon, at 2 p.m.
This announcement follows the Ghana Police Service's attempt to halt the vigil by filing an injunction application, citing concerns about the protest's proximity to a security installation.
Despite this, the organisers, led by Henry Osei, held a press conference on Wednesday, June 5, where they confirmed that all issues with the police had been resolved.
Mr Osei reassured the public that the protest would be peaceful and that the police had guaranteed maximum protection for the event.
The #DumsorMustStop vigil aims to pile pressure on the government to address the country’s power challenges, which has resulted in intermittent power supply in many parts of Ghana during peak hours.
The organisers attribute the crisis to the government’s failure to pay for the required fuel, as claimed by independent power producers.
