on Wednesday are still in Police custody.
This was confirmed
by the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Afia Tenge, Public Relations
Officer of the Greater Accra Regional Police Command, in an interview with the
Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Accra.
She said statements
were being taken from each of the arrested protestors as at 1630 hours when she
granted this interview on the arrests.
She said details

The aggrieved
customers from across the country gathered in Accra earlier in the morning with
the intention to match to the residence of the Chief Executive Officer of
Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah (NAM1) to redeem their locked up investments with
the company.
The customers were
arrested by the Police and later sent to the Greater Accra Regional Police
Command headquarters, where they are currently being held.
