The Regent of Ashaiman, Nii Annang Adzor, along with six others, has submitted a petition to Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin, urging the adoption of the Defence and Interior Committee's report. The committee investigated the circumstances surrounding the military invasion of Ashaiman on March 7, 2023.
The petition emphasizes that any further delay in implementing the committee's recommendations would be a denial of justice to the victims of the military brutalization.
The petition, dated February 1, states, “Sir, the said committee has concluded its works and has made recommendations to the House for adoption as captured at pages I 1 and 12 of the said report and same attached herein. The victims of the military brutalisation, the regent and residents of Ashaiman humbly request that for the interest of Justice, the House should adopt the said committee’s report as Well as its recommendations timeously, since Justice delayed is Justice denied".
Following the killing of a military colleague, Trooper Imoro Sherif, in Ashaiman, the parliamentary committee, led by Speaker Alban Bagbin, was tasked to investigate the incident. The soldiers' actions resulted in injuries and deaths among the residents. The committee's report, submitted in November 2023, recommended prompt and adequate compensation by the State for those brutalized and whose properties were damaged during the military operation.
Despite the recommendations, there has been no action taken three months after the report submission, prompting the petition for swifter justice.
