The Ghana police service has secured a restraining order against largest opposition political party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), banning it from embarking on further protests and demonstrations in Accra.
The Police Command in a statement explained that the prohibition order follows an Affidavit filed by the Police upon receipt of notification from the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the party, Kobina Ade Coker, of the party’s intentions to stage protests in constituencies across the region.
The Regional Police Command said it cannot provide protection for the party and its supporters during the protests due to “post-election and multifaceted security operations for the festive season and beyond.”
It further cautioned the general public, especially sympathizers, followers, and supporters of the National Democratic Congress, to comply with the restraining order by not participating in any protest.
