Ernest Norgbey, Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, has revealed that one of the 184 people apprehended and brutalized by military officers has died. Military officers besieged Ashaiman after a soldier was killed. Individuals and civil society organizations have widely condemned the officers' brutality toward some residents.
According to Mr. Norgbey, who spoke on Eyewitness News, the deceased was buried according to Islamic tradition."The presence of the committee and that of the Defence Minister has played a major role in bringing sanity to the community, so I am very much happy about the visit to the community. Unfortunately, one of the torture victims died as a result of the torture. When the death was announced two days ago, most of the residents were taken aback."
According to Kennedy Agyapong, Chairperson of the Defense and Interior Committee, the committee will review the information gathered and make recommendations. "As committee members, we will meet on Tuesday to deliberate and find out what actually happened."
