NPP MPs name 7 suspects for investigation in Konkomba Market clash
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot

Accra, Aug 27, Ghanadot - The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament (MPs) have named seven people as suspects in the brutal Konkomba Market clash in Accra , where four persons lost their lives and several people were injured at the Konkomba Market.

The names mentioned by the MPs were Sule, Fahana, Awal, Sule Nabia, Abdullah Rasta and Abdullah Sey who they said were members of the gang which murdered the four persons

 

Another accused was one Mohammed Ayatu who allegedly butchered a man to death in an earlier clash.  He was mentioned as one of the group that led the latest killings.


Minority Leader of Parliament, Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, flanked by colleagues MPs at a press conference in Accra said the culprits were still to to be found within the vicinity and that the police should immediately arrest and prosecute them.


“These are the people that are parading the streets with impunity. We are providing the leads to the Minister of the Interior; let them effect the arrest of the people immediately if they have the securities of the good people of this country at heart,” he said.


The Minority Leader accused the Interior Minister of gross inaction in respect of the clashes; a situation he said “is not in anyway a deterrent to the culprits who are determined to flout the laws of the country with absolute impunity.”


“This is the clear demonstration of the minister’s indifference to due process, the rule of law and good governance,” Mr Mensah-Bonsu said.


He bemoaned the situation where a complainant by name Prince Kamal Fuseini “is rather being threatened with arrest,” after reporting an incident to the police.


“The Regional Police Commander has told him that he should never come to the police station again and that this is not a matter for the police to investigate, it is a matter for the NADMO,” he charged.
