Two persons sustained severe injuries after the police fired rubber bullets to disperse supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who had massed up at the Police Headquarters demanding the release of the Deputy General Secretary of the party, Koku Anyidoho.
Supporters of the NDC besieged the Police headquarters Tuesday afternoon after Anyidoho was arrested for claiming that there will be a civil coup to overthrow the presidency of Akufo-Addo.
His declaration followed the ratification of the military agreement between the government of Ghana and that of the United States by Parliament Friday March 23 despite huge public protest and stark warnings from security analysts that approval of the deal will open Ghana to terrorist attacks.
The Police decided to use rubber bullets and water tankers in an attempt to disperse the supporters.
It was reported that a lady who was not part of the demonstrators and was on her way home from work was hit by a rubber bullet and had to be rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
A Journalist who was also mistaken for demonstrator was also manhandled by the Police and seriously injured.
