Manasseh Azure, the award-winning Ghanaian investigative journalist, taking to Twitter shared a screenshot from a video taken from a video that captured the riot and wrote "soldier who kneels and takes aim before shooting isn't shooting to disperse the human beings he's facing. He probably has a target in mind. #Ejura #FixTheCountry #WeAreAllKaka".

Actress Efia Odo, who has been vocal as one of the popular faces supporting the #FixTheCountry also took the microblogging platform to say that "2 people confirmed dead 6-9 on admission and seriously injured and more are being brought in to the hospital. This is getting serious and chaotic. People should be allowed to express their woes without being physically attacked. This is not the way".
