She and several other protesters were arrested on Sunday, September 22, 2024.
In a video sighted on social media, Ama Governor and other protesters were escorted to the Accra Circuit court for their court hearing on September 24, 2024.
Upon arrival at the court premises, the YouTuber was in handcuffs as she expressed her grievances about how several other protesters were manhandled and ill-treated in the cells.
She noted that since their arrest on Sunday, September 22, 2024, they were not given basic amenities of life such as water and food.
“You want to see us in this. You want to see a 26-year-old lawyer in this because she said stop galamsey. That’s the only crime. Stop galamsey. Over 48 hours, no food, no water. You all should be proud.”
While walking into the courtroom in the video, Ama Governor shouted saying,
“This is ridiculous. Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.”
