Edem Agbana, the National Democratic Congress' (NDC's) deputy national youth organiser, has claimed that the Ghana Police Service stole his phones on the first day of the Arise Ghana protest.
The activist said in an interview with JoyNews that following an encounter with the Police amid the heated confrontations that marred Tuesday's rally, his gadgets were confiscated from him.
"I'm a boss. I was inspiring my followers to show brave disobedience. I cannot abandon my folks and flee. They were there with me. The police removed my phones.
"I'm telling you that my two phones were stolen by police officers. My phones were attached to me, but the police removed them. But I didn't want to go, Mr. Agbana said.
The NDC national leadership then requested that his fans get in touch with him through email or a private Facebook message in a later post on Tuesday.
"Today I misplaced my phones. If you need to communicate with someone right away, kindly send an email or a direct message. I'm grateful," he wrote.
The claim made by Mr. Agbana is another terrible occurrence that occurred during Tuesday's protest in Accra, the country's capital.
Numerous irate protesters gathered at the Obra Spot in the Kwame Nkrumah Circle early in the morning to take part in what the organisers referred to as the "Krom ay shi demo."
The demonstration, according to its organisers, was intended to alert the government to the growing poverty in the nation as well as other pressing issues including young unemployment and corruption, among others.
The marchers carried placards with writing outlining their agitations and views while dressed in red and black garb.
Hundreds of young people vented their resentment over the condition of affairs in the country during the demonstration, according to Manuel Koranteng of JoyNews, who covered the event.
But what began as a well-organized demonstration quickly became chaotic, and the police began throwing tear gas into the throng. The Police said that this was a response to some wayward demonstrators who were determined to go via illegal routes.
Some demonstrators also threw objects at the police, accusing them of purposefully blocking the flow of events. As a result, some police officers suffered injuries, and other protestors were also hurt.
The Ghana Police Service has denounced the happenings and launched investigations into the instances following the violent clashes.
The demonstration is anticipated to continue today, June 29, though. The El-Wak Sports Stadium is where the demonstrators are anticipated to congregate under police protection.
