A tense confrontation unfolded outside the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters in Accra when supporters of former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame clashed with security officers on the premises.
The incident occurred when CID officers instructed the assembled group to disperse and vacate the area, leading to a brief but heated standoff. Images from the scene show individuals in formal attire attempting to restrain protesters while others engaged in animated discussions with law enforcement personnel.
The protesters, many wearing white t-shirts with campaign messages, had gathered at the CID headquarters in what appears to be a show of solidarity. The exact circumstances that prompted their presence at the facility remain unclear, though tensions were visibly high as authorities moved to clear the area.
Video footage captured security personnel physically intervening to separate individuals as the situation escalated. The confrontation highlights the charged political atmosphere surrounding the former Attorney General, who has been a controversial figure in Ghana’s legal and political landscape.
CID officials have not yet released an official statement regarding the incident or whether any arrests were made during the altercation. The supporters’ presence at the headquarters raises questions about ongoing investigations or proceedings that may involve Dame.
This development adds to the growing tensions in Ghana’s political scene, as supporters of various political figures increasingly take to the streets to demonstrate their allegiance. Law enforcement agencies continue to face the delicate task of maintaining order while respecting citizens’ rights to peaceful assembly.
The situation underscores the need for dialogue and calm as Ghana navigates its complex political terrain. Further details are expected to emerge as authorities continue to blow the whistle
