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

The Ghana Police Service has obtained a restriction order. This order affects a three-day anti-galamsey demonstration. The protest is organized by the Generational Right Protection Society (GRPS). It is set to take place at the Jubilee House.

The Police informed the group about the application. This application will be heard at the Accra High Court on Friday, April 25, 2025.

The protest is led by media personality Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah. It is scheduled from Monday, April 28, to Wednesday, April 30. The goal is to demand government action against irresponsible mining activities. These activities are harming Ghana’s forests, water bodies, and communities.

Afrifa-Mensah mentioned that the protest could last up to a month. This depends on how participants behave during the event.

In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, he clarified the protest's intent. He stated it should not be seen as an attack on the government. He emphasized that citizens have a right to express their concerns. Unless there is a court injunction, they will proceed with their plans.
