The Economic Fighters League wrote a letter to the Ghana Police Service, IGP and Accra Regional Command requesting for permission to hold a vigil named #JusticeForGrandma in accordance with the Public Order Act. However, 11 days after writing the letter, the group was invited to the Greater Accra Regional Police Headquarters to have a discussion on details of the vigil. In a sharp rebuttal, the Economic Fighters League also stated that “We must be very clear. We will be responding to Ghana Police shortly.”This is the 2nd time the Economic Fighters League has been denied a permit to hold a vigil.
