The Member of Parliament for Nkoranza South, Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum, has filed a motion asking the Speaker to constitute a bi-partisan committee to investigate the death of Albert Donkor.
He believes that the event that led to the death of his constituent is questionable, therefore, be investigated.
In an interview with JoyNews, Mr Agyekum alleged that Albert Donkor was picked up from his home by armed officers at 2:00am on April 24, in an unregistered vehicle believed to be security officers.
He claimed that Albert was killed four hours after he was picked up.
“In fact, Albert was killed within three to four hours after he was picked up. I am telling you the truth, that within four hours from 2:00am to about 5:00am they had finished him and they took him to the mortuary in Techiman Holy Family and they refused to take the body because they needed a family member to sign for the body. I have all these accounts if they want to deny, they should come and deny.â€
The Nkroranca South Police Service on the other hand has vehemently refuted the allegation. According to them, Albert Donkor was killed during a shoot-out during an operation.
But the youth of Nkronza South insist that the police deliberately killed Albert Donkor.They claim the deceased was targeted after he chanced on a robbery scene involving some Police officers.
The youth in their quest to seek justice staged a protest and in the process, attacked the Nkoranza Municipal Police Headquarters and freed at least six suspects in custody.
The protest led to a clash between the youth and the police which led to the killing of one person with three others critically injured.
Mr Kwadwo Agyekum who is demanding for accountability and the prosecution of the perpetrators noted that the request for a biapartisan probe will bring to light the cause of death of Albert Donkoh.
“What I have sent to the Speaker is a motion asking for a bi-partisan committee to probe what actually happened. This will bring light to what has happened so far, and I think this will help everybody in the country.â€
