Controversial Ghanaian activist and social media personality Ralph St Williams reportedly stepped into a tense standoff with police officers at the Kwabenya Circuit Court on Thursday, September 24, 2026.

Ralph St Williams defends media rights

Ralph St Williams intervened directly, pushing back against the police and insisting they had no legal authority to obstruct journalists.

In footage captured by popular Ghanaian blogger Magikal GH, the controversial activist can be heard telling officers:

"Remember, they are media men, they have the right to come on whatever they want to. We are no way to stand the court."

He went further, arguing that a case involving a 3.9-tonne illicit white powder shipment intercepted in France carried serious implications for Ghana's standing on the international stage.

In his view, shielding the suspects from legitimate media scrutiny was unacceptable given the scale of the alleged crime and its potential damage to the country's reputation.
