The mother of the late Ibrahim Anyass Mohammed, alias Macho Kaaka, has served the Police Intelligence & Police Professional Standards (PIPs) with a petition to initiate an inquiry into allegations of professional misconduct made against the Ejura Police.
She is relying on the contents of the Report of the Ministerial Committee set up to investigate the Ejura killings.
A petition issued by the family spokesperson, Nafiu Mohammed, explained that the petition concerns claims by one Aminu Mohammed during testimony that the Ejura Police demanded and obtained a bribe in order to release from custody an individual against whom a criminal complaint had been made.
The allegations of corruption, in the view of the mother of Kaaka, raise critical questions about the integrity of the Ghana Police Service.

As such, the petition was brought to initiate an inquiry into the allegations of criminal and professional misconduct made against the Ejura Police, and in order that the necessary criminal and administrative sanctions may be applied.
A copy of the Petition has been served on the Inspector-General of Police; Attorney-General; and the Minister for Interior.
Ibrahim Kaaka Mohammed died June 28, after a mob attack.
The youth of Ejura, who believe his death is related to his affiliation with the #FixTheCountry campaign, hit the streets on June 29, 2021, in demand of Justice for Kaaka.
Soldiers who had been deployed to restore calm in the community ended up firing shots into the protesting crowd, a situation that claimed the lives of two others and left several injured.
Subsequently, a Committee of Inquiry was set up to investigate circumstances that led to the June 29, incident.
