The police further revealed the group led by Nana Annor Dompreh, Regional Youth Organizer of the NPP and some Regional Members of the CPP had written to the police of their intended demonstration on Monday, 10th September which did not happen, "however, they convened Tuesday morning the 11th , September 2012, to organize the demonstration without our knowledge which is totally wrong," Eastern Regional Police Commander DCOP Gyamera Yeboah confirmed.
