A member of the Fix the Country movement, who tore posters at the National Cathedral site during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ‘Enough is Enough’ demonstration has reportedly been arrested.
He has been identified as Ralph St. Williams popularly known as Fellow Ghanaians.
Ralph was captured in a viral video tearing down some posters at the Cathedral project site as he fumed over the misuse of public funds.
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 their member.
“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,” the tweet read in parts.
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 calling for an official apology from the authorities for what he described as a blatant attempt to silence critical voices.
He added the Inspector General of Police (IGP) will formally be petitioned over the issue.
