By Muhammad Jahma On June 30, 2021 In Africa
President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo has in a press release, instructed the Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery to conduct a public inquiry into what led to the killings of a social media activist and two other demonstrators in Ejura in the Ashanti Region which occurred on Tuesday June 29, 2021.
The President also extended his sincere condolences to the families of Ibrahim Mohammed, alias “Kaaka”, Abdul Nasir Yussif and Muntala Mohammed.
Ibrahim Mohammed, alias “Kaaka” was a social media activist and said to be a member of the #FixtheCountry group demanding better living conditions for Ghanaians. According to the police, he was ambushed in front of his house when returning home on his motorbike at about 1:30am on Sunday, 27th June 2021.
He was then rushed to the Komfo Anokye Hospital for treatment where he succumbed to death on Monday 28th June 2021.
The death of Kaaka led to a demonstration on the streets in Ejura which eventually led to the shooting of Abdul Nasir Yussif and Muntala Mohammed and four other protesters. Abdul Nasir Yussif and Muntala Mohammed died from the gun shots on Tuesday afternoon.
Many Ghanaians across the various social media platforms have condemned the killings and are demanding a swift action by the President to bring the perpetrators to book.
