Kaaka’s family petitions PIPS over alleged misconduct of Ejura police

 The family of late Ibrahim Mohammed, alias Kaaka, a social activist, has petitioned the Police Intelligence & Police Professional Standards (PIPS) requesting an inquiry into allegations of police misconduct during the Ejura disturbances.

Spokesperson of the family, Alhaji Inusah Mohammed speaking to Nana Ampratwum on Silver fm Omanbapa morning show said, their petition is based on the report by the Ministerial Committee that investigated the unrest levelled allegations of misconduct and bribery against the police in Ejura.

According to him, other allegations of corruption against Kaaka’s mother cast aspersions on the integrity of the police and that should also be investigated.

He added that, the petition brought is to initiate an inquiry into the allegations of criminal and professional misconduct made against the Ejura police, in order that the necessary criminal and administrative sanctions may be applied.

Already, Kaaka’s family has said the report by the three-member committee of inquiry into the disturbances at Ejura, is fraught with factual inaccuracies.

The committee in its report concluded that the activism of Kaaka cannot be linked to his death.

It explained that his death could more likely be linked to a family feud.

In the 55-page document, the committee also cast doubts on representations by one Abeewakas Umar, to the effect that Kaaka was killed as a result of his activism.

It said it was convinced about the evidence of Sadia Fuseini because it was more “reasonably probable than the unsubstantiated evidence of Abeewakas.”

Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the General Secretary of the NDC at a press conference said the party will not shy away from such credible investigation.

According to him, they take note with satisfaction Bossman Asare’s call on the Ghana Police Service to investigate the fact put out by President Mahama, given that President Mahama was on solid grounds when making this statement and the NDC stands ever prepared to assist in any credible investigation into the matters raised.

The NDC scribe further suggested that the Ghana Police Service already has details about the claims of the possession of extra already thumb-printed ballot papers and even effected some arrests, hence the EC should be pushing for updates on the status of its investigations.
