Police in Accra have stated they will enforce a court order that prohibits a planned demonstration. The protest was organized under the banner 'Stop Galamsey'.
The Accra Regional Police Command confirmed their intention to uphold the High Court directive. This order was granted on February 24.
The court cited concerns about public order and safety as reasons for its decision. The demonstration was scheduled for Friday, February 27, 2026.
Police leadership has indicated measures will be in place to ensure the court's ruling is respected. The specific details of enforcement plans were not disclosed, but a firm stance has been communicated.
The court’s decision means the demonstration against illegal mining activities cannot proceed as planned.
This action follows previous efforts by authorities to curb illegal mining, often referred to as galamsey.
