A member of the Fix the Country movement, Ralph St. Williams, also known as “Fellow Ghanaians,” has reportedly been arrested for tearing down posters of Dr. Bawumia at the National Cathedral site.
The incident occurred during the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) ‘Enough is Enough’ demonstration.
In a viral video, Ralph was seen expressing anger over the misuse of public funds while ripping down posters at the Cathedral project location.
The convener of the movement, Oliver Baker-Vormawor announced the development in a tweet on X on Thursday.
Oliver indicated Ralph was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport(KIA) while en route to Kumasi.
Condemning the arrest, he demanded the immediate release of Ralph.
“It appears that Ralph’s arrest stems from his peaceful participation in Tuesday’s ‘Enough is Enough’ demonstration, where he highlighted government mismanagement by opening the National Cathedral pit, a site that has already cost Ghana 58 million cedis, for symbolic swimming,” parts of the tweet read.
Barker-Vormawor also alleged that the arrest is to prevent Ralph St. Williams from participating in the ‘Say No to Galamsey’ protest, scheduled between September 21 and 23.
Meanwhile, Oliver is demanding an official apology from authorities, calling the incident a blatant attempt to silence dissenting voices.
He also stated that a formal petition will be submitted to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) regarding the matter.
