Following his arrest on Friday, June 6, 2020, after he led a protest at the Black Star Square over the gruesome murder of African-American, George Floyd, the leader of Economic Fighters League, Ernesto Yeboah is opening up about his arrest.
After the George Floyd incident in the United States, the world over has been taken by a storm of protests seeking to highlight the level of racism and injustice Africans are suffering especially in the United States.
The Friday vigil at the Black Star Square was supposed to be the very first of the now global protest organised in Ghana.
However a few minutes after the vigil started with chants by the protesters, a group of security officers made up of the police and military stormed the venue to break up the vigil.
In videos seen on social media, some of the military officers were seen assaulting the leader of the vigil and other participants. Ernesto Yeboah was said to have been subsequently arrested by the police and sent to the Ministries Police Station and then relocated to the Accra District Police Station.
He was granted bail after passing the night in police cells the next morning.
