A Ghanaian chief wants police to find justice after a soldier killed a civilian at Nyinahin. Chief Nana Amanpene Boateng II met with police leaders about the shooting. He said the officer acted on purpose against young mourners who broke no laws. The rule of law must apply to everyone regardless of uniform status. Nobody should kill innocent people without consequences.
The armed soldiers stopped their vehicle when they saw a mourner wearing military clothes. One soldier tried to take the uniform away from him. This started a fight between the mourners and military officers. A soldier fired his gun during this clash, killing one person instantly. Three other people suffered severe injuries.
Police Commander DCOP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe promised a full investigation. He said they will treat the case as an individual crime rather than blaming the entire military. The police asked everyone to remain calm during their work. MP Seth Osei Akoto also attended the meeting with the chief. The mourners had been heading to bury a friend when the attack happened.
