The police Wednesday morning raided and closed down the recently opened office of a Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) group in Accra.
The five bedroom apartment housing the group at Ashongman Estate was opened on Sunday, January 31, and was attended by diplomats including the Australian High Commissioner to Ghana, Ambassador Gregory and his partner Rachael, the Dannish Ambassador to Ghana, Ambassador Tom Nørring and his wife, Bridgit, as well as officials of the European Union (EU) in Ghana.
Following the opening of the facility, there has been stiff opposition from anti-LGBQTI stakeholders with calls on government to resist any attempt by the group to operate in Ghana since the country’s laws frowned on it.
