Ghanaian
social
media
personality
and
actress,
Efia
Odo,
has
voiced
her
concerns
over
the
current
state
of
the
nation.
The
actress
has
added
her
voice
to
the
ongoing
#Freethecitizens
campaign
on
social
media.
In
a
heartfelt
post
on
X
(formerly
Twitter),
Efia
Odo
did
not
hold
back
her
frustrations
with
the
ruling
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP),
accusing
the
government
of
disregarding
the
rule
of
law.
Efia
Odo
lamented
the
growing
challenges
in
Ghana,
stating
that
she
believes
the
country
has
fallen
into
a
“huge
pit”
from
which
it
would
take
a
miracle
to
emerge.
As
we
all
know,
Efia
Odo
has
been
vocal
about
her
dissatisfaction
with
the
government’s
handling
of
the
economy,
corruption,
and
governance
issues.
The
outspoken
activist
further
noted
that
even
if
the
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
were
to
win
the
upcoming
general
elections,
it
would
be
difficult
for
former
President
John
Dramani
Mahama
to
address
the
country’s
problems
within
just
a
four-year
term.
Yesterday,
thirty-nine
people
who
were
part
of
the
weekend’s
street
protest
and
were
arrested
by
the
police
for
unlawful
acts
have
been
remanded
into
custody
by
the
Accra
Circuit
Court.
They
were
part
of
the
three
day
street
protest
organised
by
the
pressure
group,
Democracy
Hub.
The
protest,
which
voiced
concerns
over
illegal
small-scale
mining
(galamsey)
and
economic
mismanagement,
has
led
to
charges
of
unlawful
assembly
and
other
offenses
against
the
demonstrators.
Ten
protesters
were
the
first
to
be
remanded
after
appearing
in
court,
charged
with
conspiracy
to
commit
a
crime,
specifically
unlawful
assembly.
