Leader of Economic Fighters League, Ernesto Yeboah, has described his arrest last Friday night as a “kidnap” by the security forces.
According to George, the police was not able to tell exactly what his crime was; rather they were insisting that his arrest for organising a vigil for George Floyd was an “order from above”.
“I was kidnapped from the space [Independence Square] because there was no warrant of arrest, there was no reason for my being taken away…” Ernesto was seen telling Joy News in an interview.
He said he only obliged to follow the police because of the hype his followers and other Ghanaians gave the vigil, therefore, he thought it better to follow the police to avoid the whole program being disrupted.
“I joined them [police] to the Ministries Police Station, and then in about 30 minutes, I was relocated to the Accra District Police Station,” he narrated.
Ernesto Yeboah, who was leading a vigil against police brutalities in the USA, especially after the killing of the African-American, George Floyd, was arrested on Friday, June 6, 2020.
