According to Mr. Richard Kumadoe, a security analyst, the police ought to have detained the leaders of the Arise Ghana protest for the mayhem that took place by now.
In his opinion, the Police's delay in making their arrests has given the leaders more time to organise more people for today, Wednesday, June 29, the demonstration's second day.
All of the organisers of Arise Ghana's rally on Tuesday have been given notice by the Ghana Police Service that they would be detained and charged.
The police claim that the attacks and property damage warranted this course of action. The law enforcement agency claims that the move complies with Section 3 of Act 491's Public Order Act.
The #KromAy3Hye demo on Tuesday came to an abrupt end when police stopped the crowd from spilling onto Ring Road Central and marching towards the Jubilee House.
Stones were thrown at the police by people who the organisers said were "agent provocateurs" the same police installed inside of them, and tear gas was shot, undoubtedly by the police.
29 people have been arrested thus far.
The police announced in a news release on Tuesday, June 28, "Available video footages of the incident are being analysed, and all additional people identified for taking part in the attacks as well as encouraging the violence will be detained and brought to face justice."
It stated that the demonstrators' leaders are spreading "planned lie" and "misinformation." The film and pictures of the incident speak for themselves, therefore we ask the public to ignore the lies and treat them with the disdain they deserve.
On the New Day programme on TV3 with Berla Mundi on Wednesday, June 29, Mr. Kumadoe made a comment on this event and stated, "They should have arrested them by this point, however, now that they have left the leaders, it gives them the authority to also rally their supporters.
"I just hope and pray that there is only one nation called Ghana, and whether we are protesting or enforcing the law, let us be cautious, let us be wise, and make sure that public safety is guaranteed while we also accomplish whatever goal we want to bring across, since there are still many days ahead and a lot will happen.
He added that given how the police handled the matter, the Inspector General of Police would have resigned.
He would have resigned in some nations. Africans generally don't accept personal responsibility for the actions of their people, especially when IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare instructed them to go out there and do A, B, C, and D and they went to do exactly the opposite of what happened, which means leadership has a problem and there is miscommunication. Recently, some of these incidents occurred in other countries. Someone is discrediting someone, as we seen in the Takoradi girls' case.
