National Chief Imam, Sheikh Nuhu Sharubutu, has tasked his advisory board to follow up on the investigations into the killing of Kaaka.
Ibrahim Mohammed, also known as Kaaka, was killed in Ejura in the Ashanti Region in June 2021.
His death, which sparked a protest in the community also led to the killing of two persons by security personnel dispatched to control the crowd.
Three suspects are currently standing trial for their alleged role in Kaaka’s death.
Also, a committee set up by the Minister of the Interior, Ambrose Dery, to conduct a public inquiry into the disturbances that led to the death of two persons at Ejura in the Ashanti Region has submitted its report on July 27, 2021.
Spokesperson for the Chief Imam, Sheikh Armiyawo Shaibu said “I am also concerned that nothing has come out of the investigations yet. I will get my advisory board involved in finding out why the process has been stalled and possibly fast-track the process.â€
The Chief Imam made these comments through his spokesperson when the family of Kaaka called on him.
Spokesperson for the family, Nafiu Mohammed, has also called on the government to release the report presented by the three-member committee that investigated the disturbances at Ejura following the death of Kaaka.
“We were told at the beginning of the Committee’s work that the emphasis was not on finding out the cause of Kaaka’s death. But we believe that the people of Ejura need justice, those who were shot at the protest need justice. The report has taken too long, we don’t know what could possibly be stalling it. We want it to be out as soon as possible.â€
The 54-page Ejura committee report contains findings and recommendations, among other things, to forestall a recurrence of the incident at Ejura in any part of the country.
The presentation of the report followed the completion of work by the three-member committee chaired by a Justice of the Court of Appeal, Justice George Kingsley Koomson.
Other members of the committee are a Security Expert, Dr Vladimir Antwi-Danso, and Ms Juliet Amoah, the Executive Director of Penplusbytes, a not-for-profit organisation into good governance and the promotion of new media.
A Principal State Attorney, Ms Marie-Louise Simmons, was the Secretary.
