We shall not be satisfied with injustice – Nana Addo

Addressing the media in Accra on Friday, Nana Addo noted that the party will not be satisfied with anything less than the arrest and prosecution of the murderers.

 

The flag-bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo has called for thorough investigations into the killing of the party’s Upper East regional chairman, Adams Mahama.

Addressing the media in Accra on Friday, Nana Addo noted that the party will not be satisfied with anything less than the arrest and prosecution of the murderers.

“But, perhaps, most important for us immediately is the need for the law enforcement agencies to bring a quick resolution to the despicable, criminal act that took place in Bolgatanga a week ago. We note the professionalism so far displayed by them in their investigations. We expect them to continue to do so and not to be influenced in any way by political pressure of any sort.

“I acknowledge and appreciate the sentiments expressed by the President of the Republic with the promise that justice will be done to Chairman Adams and we intend to hold him to that promise. It is unfortunate, but true, that criminal activities with political undertones in this country have tended not to be resolved satisfactorily. The latest example of this is the shooting and killing of the Nkwanta South DCE some six months ago. It does not engender public confidence that, up to today, there has been no word on the investigations into that crime. We shall not be satisfied with anything less than the arrest and successful prosecution of the killers of Chairman Adams. There should be no ifs and buts”, he noted.

Adams Mahama was showered with acid on his way home from a construction site. He was pronounced dead at the Bolgatanga Hospital. Tension in the party has since aggravated as some people are pointing accusing fingers on the party’s national chairman, Paul Afoko and general secretary, Kwabena Agyepong. Many stakeholders have advised members to allow the police conclude their investigations.
