Former President John Dramani Mahama has called on government to probe into the murder of social media activist Kaaka and subsequent killing of two other people in Ejura when the military invaded the area.
John Mahama wondered why a military man aimed at protestors while trying to restore calm in the area as chaos erupted in Ejura following the murder of Kaaka.
“I add my voice to calls for calm following the shooting to death of two persons and the injury to many in Ejura today, following the murder of youth activist Ibrahim ‘Kaaka’ Mohammed. I have just seen a video of the firing of live ammunition into a crowd by persons wearing military attire, after the burial of the murdered youth activist.
“I urgently call on President Nana Akufo-Addo to initiate an immediate de-escalation of the situation in Ejura. There must be a very thorough investigation of both the murder of the youth activist and the security rules of engagement, which resulted in the shooting to death of the two others,” he stated in statement.
