The change was confirmed in a new letter sent by the organizers to the Accra Regional Police Command, addressing the initial concerns raised by the officers.<\/p>\n<p>The Police had initially filed for an injunction at the High Court to prevent the demonstration, citing security and logistical concerns. They had also suggested that the organizers consider an alternative venue. The revised plan appears to have mitigated these concerns, leading to the withdrawal of the legal action.<\/p>\n<p>The Police, in accordance with the dictates of the Public Order Act, have filed an instant application to halt the demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawal of the injunction application case, which was heard on May 24, 2024, means organizers of the protest can go ahead with the demonstration barring any intervention from the Police<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana Police Service has withdrawn its injunction application seeking to halt the Yvonne Nelson-led demonstration against erratic power supply, known locally as \u2018dumsor.\u2019 This [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[3721],"class_list":["post-15946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-police-dumsor-must-stop"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
