Protesters have hit the streets of Ghana’s capital Accra to demand the president resign over an economic crisis that has disrupted people’s livelihoods.
Led by Ghanaian lawyer Martin Kpebu, the protesters say the Akufo-addo-led government is responsible for the country’s economic challenges, the worst since independence in 1957 and that the ruling government has not delivered on its pledges.
Security has been deployed to maintain law and order.
