Adib Saani, a security analyst, has asked for an open probe into the shooting incident at Lamashegu, which resulted in the death of one person and the injury of seven others.
Adib Saani, speaking to JoyNews on Monday, urged the Ghana Police Service to discipline those proven to be responsible in the shooting.
"The investigation must be transparent, and hopefully we will not have another case like the zongo men who were killed near Kumasi last year." "I'm hoping that if they find some level of culpability this time, the officers will be subjected to the full force of the law," he said on The Pulse.
This, he claims, will increase police-citizen trust and disprove the claim.
According to him, the Service's training program needs to be reviewed in order to incorporate more instruction on deescalating violent situations.
"A lot of the examples in the media involving police brutalizing people has to do with a lack of experience or possibly training since in many situations they lack a lot more of the democratic policing component," he continued.
A young man who was being sought by the police is said to have run into the Lamashe-palace Naa's to avoid being arrested, causing the disturbance on Sunday, February 13.
An eyewitness told JoyNews that the young man was being pursued for driving an illegal vehicle.
However, as he ran into the Palace, he was allegedly shot by the police, resulting in the disturbance.
So far, one individual has died, while seven others have suffered various degrees of injury.
Six policemen have been arrested by the Police Service for their roles in the conflict between Lamashegu's youth and the police on Sunday.
This comes after a preliminary investigation of the incident. Chief Superintendent George Yeboah Afari, the Tamale Divisional Police Commander, said the police are investigating into the situation.
"It's unfortunate, to say the least. We were all aware of the Vice President's arrival, so I was out and about in the Tolon District.
