Occupy Julorbi House: Celebs lambasted for staying mute on protest
Twitter (X) users have lambasted their favourite celebrities who have failed to add their voices to the “Occupy Julorbi House” protest.
The protest, organised by pressure group “Democracy Hub” is to call on “the President and members of the Economic Management Team to #FixTheCountry in light of the level of economic mismanagement and theft that has engulfed our government from the highest levels.”
While some popular figures have extended their solidarity behind protestors, and added their voices to the issues on the ground, some notable ones have stayed silent on the matter, causing their fans to express their displeasure.

You're a problem if after all this you pay for a ticket in December for these same artistes. They were yapping their mouths here during End Sars protest and yet their own country is going through practically the same and they've all turned a blind eye??!!!!#OccupyJulorbiHouse

The protest, organised by pressure group Democracy Hub proceeded on Thursday, September 21, despite an injunction from the Ghana Police.
Protestors are reported to have been arrested by the Police, and bused down to the Accra Regional Police Headquarters.
Protestors have been split into sub-groups, and sent to various Police stations in the city. The media has been prevented from interacting with them.
Meanwhile, Lawyers have been invited to come down to the various stations to help with legal matters. Some Lawyers have showed up and are currently assisting with legal assistance.
