There was stampede at the entrance to the Parliament as protesters of the March for Justice demonstration by the NDC clashed with security officers.

There was a clear disregard for the social distance protocol on Covid-19 as the organisers made their way to the legislative assembly to present a petition to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has presented its petition to the Presidency as scores of supporters marching in Tuesday’s protest head to Parliament House.
 
Dubbed ‘March for Justice’, the protest is demanding justice for families who have lost relatives as a result of “state-sponsored thuggery” – as the NDC puts it – in the hands of the police and military under the current administration.

It is under the auspices of the Youth Wing of the party.

The first of two petitions was presented by NDC’s General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia and Women’s Organiser Hannah Bissiw.

It was received at the Jubilee House by a Deputy Chief of Staff, Emmanuel Adumua-Bossman.
