The death of a 28 year old mechanic
reportedly killed by police in the Brong Ahafo
regional capital, Sunyani, has sparked outrage
among residents in the city.
It comes barely a week after two persons were
shot and killed by police in Kumasi and Obuasi
all in the Ashanti region, under strange
circumstances.
A patrol team in the municipality was reported
to have stormed the area to arrest alleged
narcotic drug users but ended up killing the
mechanic.
Mahama Asanga, father of the deceased told
Kuuban Abban of SKYY FM in Sunyani that his
son, who was then returning home from town,
met the police who were firing gunshots and
took to his heels.
According to Mr. Asanga, his son was nowhere
close to the place where the alleged drug
peddlers were when the police shot and killed
him.
Police have however denied the claim.
