Archbishop Nicolas Duncan-Williams has cautioned the government over its handling of the grievances of the youth.

The Action Chapel International founder said it was dangerous to neglect the youth during a sermon on September 24, 2023.

He further described the youth as unpredictable and compared their conduct to disobeying parents.

“It is a very bad move for any government in Africa to ignore the cry and concern of the next generation because it is difficult to ignore them.”

"This young generation, they don't care kraa, so when you are dealing with them, you need to be very skilful and very tactful," the preacher said.

A group called Democracy Hub organised the original demonstration in Ghana.

Police arrested 49 of the protestors and were subsequently accused of police brutality.
