On the streets of Aggrey Road and Station Road, a small but vocal group, including children, took to the streets in a dramatic display of dissent.
Some protesters donned quirky costumes and brandished tree branches while chanting anti-government slogans.
Tensions rose when demonstrators began issuing threats to local residents, shop owners, and motorists.

The protesters have demanded that others join their cause, threatening that from Tuesday, those who do not comply should remain indoors.
According to The Nation, one protester declared, "Tomorrow, park your vehicles and close your shop, and come and join us. Tomorrow there will be no shops. You will see what will happen tomorrow."
