An Adentan Circuit Court has issued a restraining order against three individuals—Francis Ayenu, Dennis Tawiah, and Michael Ayenu—preventing them from organizing an "All-white or All Black attire party" scheduled for January 1, 2024.

The court's decision came in response to concerns raised by the police, seeking to prevent potential clashes and disturbances of peace in Adenta, Accra.

The court said: “In the interest of upholding and ensuring public peace and order, and in the interest of protecting lives and property, the respondents, Francis Ayenu, Dennis Tawiah and Michael Ayenu; their agents, assigns, workmen, servants and any other person or group claiming through or under them are hereby restrained and or prohibited from organising, holding, carrying-on, executing, throwing or proceeding with the planned “All white/ All black” event/ party or other event name of description they may give it, and as planned for the 1st day of January 2024."

The Adentan Circuit Court issued a restraining/prohibition order, directing the owners and operators of any event center, location, or premises associated with the planned "All-white or All Black attire party" to cooperate with the Ghana Police Service in executing the order. The directive was part of the court's response to an ex-parte motion filed by Chief Inspector Maxwell Lanyo of the Ghana Police Service on December 29, 2023.

The police received intelligence on December 19, 2023, indicating that two factions, led by Francis Ayenu on one side and Dennis Tawiah with Michael Ayenu on the other, were planning events titled "All Black Attire wear or All White attire" on December 28, 2023, and January 1, 2024. The police reported that Francis Ayenu filed an injunction against the other partners in the Adenta High Court to prevent them from organizing any event on the specified dates.

The Police said, however, “even though the processes had been served on the defendant, they went ahead to hold the event on December 28, 2023, in flagrant disregard to the powers and authority of the High Court, Adenta and they are again planning to hold the second event on January 1, 2024, despite the pending injunction.”

It said Police intelligence revealed that Francis Ayenu and his group were also planning to organise the same event at the same venue on January 1, 2024, and use “land guards” to disrupt the event of Dennis Tawiah and Michael Ayenu.

The Police argued that “if the planned action is executed, there would be a total breach of peace”.

The Police, therefore, prayed the court to restrain Francis Ayenu and Dennis Tawiah together with Michael Ayenu and their agents as well as any other person associated with the organisers of the event from carrying out the planned event on January 1, 2024.
