The #OccupyJulorbiHouse protestors began their day by gathering at the 37 Trotro station in the early hours of the morning.
They aimed to continue their march towards the Jubilee House, where they intend to make their voices heard. However, their progress was halted by the Ghana Police Service at the 37 Military Hospital, where they encountered resistance.
The commercial route connecting the Opeiba – 37 Military Hospital – Jubilee House areas has been effectively blocked for both commercial and non-commercial vehicles. This obstruction underscores the challenges the protestors face as they seek to press their demands for accountability and justice.
Despite the roadblock and the disruption to their planned route, the protestors have shown unwavering resolve. They have declared their intent to stay at the 37 Military Hospital location until they are allowed to proceed towards the Jubilee House.
The protest has also drawn significant attention from social media influencers and media personalities who have been actively documenting the event. The extensive coverage of the protests on social media and in the mainstream media highlights the movement’s growing reach and impact as it captivates the nation’s attention.
The ongoing protest remains a focal point in the national dialogue, stirring conversations about civil liberties, police conduct, and the role of peaceful protest in democratic societies.
