The organizers of the '#DumsorMustStop' vigil have expressed their intention to challenge the injunction initiated by the Ghana Police Service, aimed at obstructing their planned demonstration.
The Ghana Police Service filed an injunction application at the High Court to obstruct the vigil, suggesting the organizers consider changing the protest venue.
Scheduled for Saturday, May 25, the demonstration now faces uncertainty.
In an interview with Citi News, Selorm Dramani Dzramado affirmed the group's readiness to contest the injunction in court.
“We will not accept any application by the police ex-parte. We will disregard it, and treat it with utter contempt. If the court respects and listens to them and the decision is taken,, you don’t really have a choice. But it’s good you said that it’s on notice. So you’re going to defend in court. You’re going to argue in court. That will be on 24th May. So it’s Friday.”
Actress Yvonne Nelson leads the vigil, reminiscent of a similar action she organized in 2015.
Yvonne Nelson and her team recently met with the Ghana Police Service to notify them of the planned protest, as mandated by law.
Following the meeting, the police objected to the route proposed by Yvonne Nelson's team, citing concerns about the intended endpoint—Revolution Square—being near the Jubilee House, a security zone.
Moreover, the police raised apprehensions about concluding the protest at midnight.
The protest organizers, however, disagreed, asserting that the endpoint was distant from the Jubilee House, and there were no issues regarding the protest's end time.
In line with the Public Order Act's stipulations, the police promptly filed an application on Tuesday, May 21, to halt the demonstration.
The case is slated for a hearing on May 24, 2024.
