Assembly member for the area, Patrick Yeboah was shocked by the incident noting that the area is a relatively peaceful one.
“Such an incident has never happened here before. It was only once some police officers shot a criminal dead in the area. Aside that, nothing of this sort happens here,” he told Luv FM’s Nana Yaw Gyimah.
The mother of the deceased, Adwoa Nyarko, who has been thrown into a state of mourning wants justice for her daughter.
“My child didn’t go anywhere. She was home and got a phone call, his brother asked him not to go and she said, ‘I’m not going far’. She stepped out for a few minutes and she was shot dead. My heart is breaking,” Madam Nyarko describes amid wails.
“Ghana police please resolve this issue for me. My valuable possession has been ruined. It’s so painful to toil in vain.”
