ACCRA – The National Peace Council is calling for thorough investigations into the incidents that sparked unrest in Kukurantumi in the Eastern Region.
The disturbances followed the death of Bright Kena, also known as D-ball, who had been arrested for unlawful entry and stealing and later died while receiving treatment at the Community Hospital in Kukurantumi.
In response, the Ghana Police Service has temporarily shut down the Kukurantumi Police Station and withdrawn all officers from the area.
Executive Secretary of the Peace Council, George Amoh, speaking to Citi News on the sidelines of an event to mark this year’s commemoration of the International Day of Peace (IDP), urged the Inspector-General of Police to ensure the findings of the investigations are acted upon.
“This is an issue that requires thorough investigations first to establish the reasons or what led to this. I think that must be established very well and on principles that are based on law.
“For example if someone is found culpable that person must go through the rules that we set for ourselves, the laws of our country,” he stated.
