Vice Chairperson of the Defense and Interior Committee in Parliament, Ophelia Mensah Hayford, has noted that there is a high chance that the committee will probe the ongoing mayhem in Ashaiman.

Speaking to the press, she noted that the Ashaiman MP, Ernest Henry Norgbey, is yet to make a statement on the matter.

"When that statement is made, the Speaker has the right to refer and definitely, he will refer it to us. That is when we also move in to the committee for a fact-finding mission to ascertain what happened," she added.

On Tuesday, officers of the Ghana Armed Forces invaded Ashaiman and subjected some residents to unlawful activities. This was in response to the murder of one Sherif Imoro over the weekend.

Per a statement from the Ghana Armed Forces, the swoop was sanctioned to enable the military capture the perpetrators of the heinous crime.

Many individuals including former President John Dramani Mahama have condemned the happenings in Ashaiman.

According to reports, 150 out of the 184 individuals detained have been released. They were in police custody.
