On Tuesday, June 28, Arise Ghana, a pressure group demanding that government fixes the country’s economic challenges hit the street of Accra.
After some challenges involving the duration of the protest seemed to have been resolved, the protestors gathered at the Obra spot in Circle to commence their march.
For several hours, it was a peaceful atmosphere. This changed after a disagreement over the approved route between the Police and the protestors.
The protest turned bloody as stones were pelted and tear gases were fired by the two parties. Several individuals were injured.
The Police also showed professionalism by ensuring the safety of children caught in the scuffle.
Here is a rundown of the event in pictures:
