Hon. Aquah Prince, the Assembly Member for Ekumfi Asaafa where the deceased hailed from, said the deceased was with his junior brother in Accra over the weekend, so he set off from Accra on Monday around 10:00 Am and got to Aburansa where he was going to take a taxi to Aborbeano

 

All attempts made by the brother-in-law and Sister to reach the deceased on phone proved fruitless and they got worried, per their calculation from the time he set off, the deceased should have arrived at his destination but He was nowhere to be found.

 

 

On July 5, Tuesday, all attempts to hear from him did not materialize hence a report was made at Komenda Police Station.

After seeing some videos of the man being lynched, the murdered person was recognized to be him and the police were informed, accordingly.

 

 

Meanwhile, information gathered disclosed that the body of the deceased is nowhere to be found while other rumors claim that he has been buried secretly In the bush by the youths of Komenda-Aburansa.

 

 

The deceased after severely beaten was said to have been sent to the Chief’s Palace but the Youths warned the Chief to stay away from the matter hence he was killed and allegedly buried secretly.

 

Residents in the Ekumfi Asasfa are seeking justice for the innocent man and are appealing to the Inspector General Of Police and the Central Regional Police Commander to ensure the arrest of all the youth responsible for the lynching of the deceased.

 

 

The family of the deceased is still searching for where the body is being buried.
