The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of several demonstrators from the Democracy Hub group for engaging in unlawful activities, including blocking roads, toppling police barriers, and obstructing traffic at the 37 Roundabout in Accra.
In a statement, the police revealed that a manhunt is underway to apprehend one of the protest leaders, Oliver Vormawor, along with others involved in acts of lawlessness during the demonstration.
Originally focused on the economic situation, the protest unexpectedly shifted and was rebranded as an anti-galamsey (illegal mining) demonstration.
In a viral video, Oliver Vormawor is seen taking a key from a police vehicle and throwing it away before fleeing the scene.
In another video, he is captured toppling police barricades without any apparent provocation.
