Police in Accra have announced they will enforce a High Court order. This order bans the planned Stop Galamsey protest. The protest was scheduled for Friday, February 27, 2026.
The Accra Regional Police Command issued a statement confirming this enforcement. The court granted the ban order on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
The court's decision was made to maintain public order and safety. This is especially important because the protest date overlaps with the State of the Nation Address.
Details about the exact nature of the protest were not fully disclosed in the police statement. The focus remains on prohibiting the demonstration.
