The Ghana Police Service has secured a court injunction from the High Court to restrain some commercial drivers from embarking on a naked demonstration over the price of petrol in the country.
The commercial drivers were expected to go on a naked demonstration today, Wednesday, June 1, 2022, to register their displeasure against the incessant increase in petroleum products.
The Concerned Drivers Association, in a statement issued on Tuesday, 31 May 2022, explained: “The Ghana Police Service yesterday night served us with a court injunction from the High Court of Justice, Criminal Court 3, restraining us from demonstrating with our cars, as we agreed on with the police earlier”.
According to the association, this is a deliberate attempt by the government to prevent its members from exercising their constitutional rights as drivers in the country.

CONCERNED DRIVERS ASSOCIATION OF GHANA
POLICE INJUNCTION ON OUR DEMONSTRATION.
The Ghana Police Service yesterday night served us with a court injunction from the High Court of Justice, Criminal Court 3, restraining us from demonstrating with our cars as we agreed on with the police.
We know this is a deliberate attempt by the government to prevent us from exercising our constitutional rights.
We had earlier met with the Ghana Police Service and they agreed to our proposal, so, why the sudden change.
We are calling on our members to hold their fire but not to let their guns, as negotiations are still ongoing to reschedule another date for the demonstration.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this injunction.
