Chairman of AFAG Dr. Ayew Afriyie told Citi News<\/strong> that they will meet with their lawyers to decide on the way forward.<\/p>\n\u201cWe would have to communicate our decision\u2026to our lawyers.

He added that \u201cIt\u2019s been there very often and on this occasion we will definitely go to court to determine our right and to seek our freedom. We have a meeting with our legal advisors, from that point we will take our next step. But the resolve of this group is to fight this restraining order in court.\u201d<\/p>\n
