Committee submits report on Manso Nkwanta shooting incident

The Independent Committee constituted to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting of seven young men to death at Manso Nkwanta in the Ashanti Region submitted its report to the Vice President on Wednesday.

The report has been forwarded to the Attorney General for study and advice.

This was announced in a statement issued by the Office of the Vice President and signed by Alhaji Abubakar Saddique Boniface, the Minister of State at the Office of the Vice President, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra.

The setting up of the Independent Committee was necessitated by the different versions of the circumstances that led to the shooting and killing of the seven men, who reportedly lived in Asawase, a suburb of Kumasi, by the Police on Tuesday, July 17, 2018.

“Government wishes to have the matter resolved in a short possible time,’’ it said.

The Office of the Vice President expressed its condolences to the bereaved families and assured that all efforts would be made to bring a closure to the unfortunate incident.
