Apexnewsgh.com can confirm that the state has withdrawn the charges of breach of public order against Ernesto Yeboah, the Founder and Commander-In-Chief of the Economic Fighters’ League.

The Accra Circuit Court 10 has accordingly has discharged him.

Ernesto Yeboah was arrested and charged with breaching the public order act following a vigil his group organized in June last year in honor of 46-year-old American, George Floyd, who was killed by Minnesota police.
