Kojo Oppong Nkrumah charged the security agencies to be quick and clinical in getting to the bottom of the sad incident at Ejura and other unresolved crimes.

“Now while we understand that police investigations sometimes take a while, it does not instill confidence in the population if such acts go unresolved and unpunished quickly. So the police need to get to the bottom of this and justice must be done” the Minister stated.

He added “We have also read and seen videos this morning from youth groups and family members who are admonishing politicians and other social groups who want to be opportunistic about this very sad incident to back off and I think we can all agree with them”
