An Accra High Court has set Friday, September 8, to rule on Greater Accra Regional Police Command's injunction application against the Minority's #OccupyBoG demonstration.

This was the case that was moved and argued by the parties and the lawyers for the Minority raised a preliminary objection.

NDC’s Director of Legal Affairs, Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, insisted that per Article 88(5) of the 1992 Constitution and the State Proceedings Act, it is only the Attorney General that has such powers.

The judge subsequently adjourned its ruling on the matter to Friday.

The Ghana Police Service on Wednesday filed for an injunction against the Minority’s proposed routes for its protest.

The group will on September 5 seek to march from Makola, through Rawlings Park and Opera Square to the frontage of the Bank of Ghana.

However, the police argue that the route is often overcrowded with human and vehicular traffic and thus going by that route could endanger public order, public safety and the running of essential services.

They had proposed an alternate route starting from the Parliament House through the Osu Cemetery Traffic Light to end at Independence Square, which the minority rejected.

The injunction, which will be heard on September 4 is to prevent the Minority from using their preferred route.

The Minority in reaction to the injunction application also described it as a “breach of trust” and expressed their utter disappointment at the conduct of the police.

They intend to defend their case and embark on the protest on their preferred routes.
