The demonstrators used their disgust at the Ghana Police Service (GPS) for preventing them from registering their legal rights.

He further hinted that they would bounce back. He hinted that though the demonstration has been called off by the police, they will not relent but will do all possible to register their displeasure. "I say though we are disappointed at the police we will bounce back", he added.
The demonstrators are registering their displeasure at the government's renege to make their roads. According to the demonstrators, not even a single road within Ashaiman is motorable.
He said they will demonstrate until the government turns its attention to their roads. According to him, they(demonstrators) were ready as of yesterday day night but they were told by the police that a directive from IGP told them to restrain the demonstrators because they do not have enough protection for demonstrators.
But the demonstrators still serve notice that the demonstration will come on.
