The police have filed an application at the court to prohibit a group calling itself Democracy Hub from embarking on a 3-day demonstration near the seat of government.

The group served notice to start the demonstration at the Jubilee House on Thursday, September 21 and end on Saturday, September 23.

But the police say they have successfully served the organisers a copy of the application.

“As we wait for the court to determine the matter, we wish to urge the public to take note and disregard any calls from any individuals or groups encouraging them to assemble for a demonstration at the Jubilee House,” a press release issued by Superintendent Juliana Obeng, the Head of Public Affairs at the Accra Regional Command, said.

“We equally wish to urge the organisers to respect the due process in the interest of public order and public safety,” the release on Wednesday, September 20 concluded.
