The
Ghana
Police
Service
has
released
a
detailed
statement
on
the
arrest
of
the
protesters
last
weekend.
In
a
lengthy
statement,
they
addressed
issues
raised
on
social
media
from
the
arrest
of
a
68-year-old
woman
and
a
13-year-old
as
well
as,
the
alleged
pregnant
woman
in
their
custody.
According
to
the
statement,
the
lady
identified
as
Grace
Asantewaa,
who
many
claimed
was
68.
She
is
not
that
age,
but
she
was
50
years
old
and
had
a
12-year-old
child
with
her.
It
continued
that
since
the
lady
didn’t
want
to
be
separated
from
her
child
when
she
was
arrested,
the
police
had
no
option
but
to
pick
her
up
together
with
the
child
to
the
police
station
but
they
later
gave
her
bail
for
the
sake
of
the
child.
On
the
issue
of
the
pregnant
lady,
the
police
statement
mentioned
that
the
lady
also
identified
as
Gloria
Vera
Louise
never
informed
the
police
that
she
was
pregnant
during
or
after
her
arrest.
It
went
on
to
say
neither
she
nor
her
lawyers
told
the
court
that
she
was
pregnant
when
she
appeared
in
court
but
the
comments
in
town
have
it
that
she
was
pregnant.
The
statement
mentioned
that
pregnancy
tests
conducted
at
the
police
hospital
and
a
private
health
facility
came
back
negative
indicating
that
she
wasn’t
pregnant.
