Social media influencer Ama Governor was among those arrested and arraigned.

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,” she exclaimed, echoings Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley’s thoughts, as she was escorted to court.

Meanwhile, Convener for Democracy Hub, Oliver Baker-Vormawor, is to appear in court on Wednesday, September 25.

The Democracy Hub protests took centre stage at the 37 Military Hospital Roundabout, Accra, where protesters clashed with the Ghana Police Service.

Illegal small-scale mining, alias galamsey, and economic mismanagement, were two of the concerns of the protesters.
