Boisterous activities characterise President Mills’ one week celebration

Some motor cyclists screeched noisily and dangerously around the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra as a way of marking the one week celebration of late President John Evans Atta Mills’ demise on Tuesday afternoon.

Clad in black and red with red bands around their wrists and necks, the cyclists rode noisily in a long file causing heavy vehicular traffic around the Kwame Nkrumah Circle.

They showed their skills in motor riding with some standing on the bikes amidst cheering  whilst others tilted theirs sideways to show their prowess.

Other people also blocked the streets near the Efua Sutherland Children’s’ Park displaying various traditional dances with loud music playing at the background.

The mourners both old and youth also wore red and black cloths with red bands tied around various parts of their body trooping in and out of the park.

Most commercial drivers also decorated their vehicles with red bands and tooted their horns through town, some with NDC  paraphernalia and portraits of the late President Mills.
