The Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) has urged for a "prompt" inquiry into the apprehension of certain individuals by the police on Thursday, September 21 during the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest.

Furthermore, the Council is insisting "that anyone found culpable should be subjected to the full extent of the law to restore confidence in our democratic system."

These demands were articulated in a press release issued on Tuesday, September 26, and endorsed by the General Secretary of the Council, Rev. Dr. Cyril Fayose.

The incident in question pertains to the tumultuous commencement of the three-day #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest.

Due to a dispute between the police and the organizers, Democracy Hub, concerning a court application to halt the protest, the police had issued a warning against any gathering for the demonstration.

However, despite the warning, over 50 individuals defied the order with the intention of marching to the government's headquarters for the planned picketing. They were subsequently detained but later released.

Reports indicated that those who were arrested encountered mistreatment while at the various police stations where they were held.

The Christian Council has strongly criticized the "unprofessional" behavior of the police.
