Ghanaian netizens are demanding that the police drop all charges leveled against Democracy Hub protesters after they were granted bail.

Other trending topics are GIHOC, NAPO, Tony Yeboah, Thomas Partey, LGBTQ, Elisha Owusu, Sam George, Abu Francis, and Minerals Commission.

Here’s a breakdown of why these topics are trending:

#DropTheCharges

Netizens are advocating for all charges against anti galamsey protesters to be dropped.

GIHOC

Maxwell Kofi Jumah, Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries, has warned his workers and staff that they will have their appointments terminated and be dismissed from office if they partake in Organized Labour’s strike against galamsey activities.

He has come under heavy backlash for his comments with some people sharing portions of the law that makes his threats impractical.

NAPO

An old video of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh launching a comprehensive sexuality education during his tenure as the Minister of Education has popped up after he alleged that Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a former Deputy Minister of Education under the John Mahama government introduced LGBTQ+ in the learning curriculum.

Netizens, specifically NDC folks, have debunked NAPO’s claims by bringing up the old video.

LGBTQ

A protest against the delay in anti LGBTQ bill approval was held by the organisers.

Sam George and other advocates of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill stormed the streets of Accra on October 8, 2024, to compel the Attorney General and the Chief Justice to expedite Supreme Court hearings on the bill.

Thomas Partey

The Arsenal midfielder will miss Ghana’s AFCON qualifying matches against Sudan due to injury, as reported by his club, Arsenal.

Minerals Commission

The Minerals Commission is reported to have issued several mining licenses despite calls from Ghanaians for the ban on mining activities across the country.
