+ Two more protesters were killed, following demonstrations in the aftermath of the murder of well known social activist Ibrahim Anyass Muhammed, aka Kaaku, in Ejura, Ghana.
This statement was originally published on mfwa.org.
The killing of two protesters in Ejura in the Ashanti Region of Ghana marks a new low in Ghana’s descent into lawlessness, and the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) condemns it in the strongest terms.
The killings occurred on June 29, 2021, following clashes between a joint police and military team and a crowd of irate protesters. The protests erupted shortly after the burial of Ibrahim Anyass Muhammed, alias Kaaka, a popular social activist who died from his injuries on June 28 after being attacked by some thugs.
