Kwesi Pratt Embarrasses NPP Communicator over Murder of Soldier
Kwesi Pratt Jr, a renowned veteran broadcaster, has embarrassed a communicator of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Solomon Owusu, during a live TV discussion on the events leading to the death of Sherrif Imoro, a soldier of the Ghana Armed Forces who was recently killed in Ashaiman, a suburb of Accra.
During the panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji & Alhaji on Sunday, Pratt revealed that his investigation into the soldier’s death revealed that he was killed by thieves trying to steal his phone, contrary to the claim by Owusu that the late Sheriff Imoro was killed by a mob after going to visit his girlfriend.
Pratt also refuted assertions by communicators of the NPP that the late soldier was in military uniform when he was attacked, adding that the NPP communicators seemed to be following a script prepared for them by the government to misinform Ghanaians about the events that led to the lynching of the soldier.
The Ghana Police Service disclosed in a statement issued late Sunday, March 12, 2023, that six persons had been arrested for their suspected roles in the murder of a young soldier at Ashaiman Taifa on March 4, 2023.
The police are currently on the hunt for the iPhone of the deceased, which, according to the statement, is why he was fatally stabbed by the first two assailants who attacked him on March 4.
After almost a week of intelligence-led operations, the police arrested suspects Safianu Musah alias Dayorgu and Ibrahim Abdul Rakib at their hideouts in Ashaiman on March 9, 2023.
The other suspects are Samuel Tetteh, alias Wiper and Abubakar Sadick, alias Birdman, arrested at their hideouts on March 10, 2023, while Yussif Mohammed and Abdul Gafaru Abdul Karim were arrested on March 11th and 12th, respectively.
The death of Sherrif Imoro has sparked outrage among Ghanaians, with many calling for justice to be served. The Ghana Armed Forces, in a statement, expressed their condolences to the family of the deceased and assured the public that they would leave no stone unturned in their quest for justice.
The murder of Imoro is a reflection of the growing insecurity in the country, with many Ghanaians expressing concern over the spate of robberies and murders in recent times.
The government has been urged to take urgent steps to address the situation and ensure the safety of citizens.
In conclusion, the death of Sherrif Imoro is a tragedy that has once again brought to the fore the issue of insecurity in the country.
The government must take urgent steps to address this issue and ensure the safety of citizens. The arrest of the six suspects is a step in the right direction, and we hope that justice will be served for the family of the deceased and the nation at large.
