Wave of killings 'threaten right to life, liberty of Ghanaians' - Amnesty International

The Ghana chapter of international human rights campaigner, Amnesty International, has urged security agencies to swiftly clampdown on the recent wave of seeming arranged killings in the country.

In a press release, Amnesty International Ghana said Ahmed’s killing and that of Mr. Joseph Miigaai Jakperuk, the Deputy Distribution Manager of Accra East Region of GWCL and Mrs Josephine Asante, the Marketing and Public Relations Manager of the Tema Port has a potential to put Ghanaians into a state of fear, insecurity and worry.

“These incidents threaten the right to life and liberty of Ghanaians and others in Ghana,” Amnesty International said.

Joseph Miigaai Jakperuk was also shot dead by unknown assailants Gbangu in the East Mamprusi District of the Northern Region, while Mrs Josephine Asante was been stabbed to death at her residence at community 25 in Tema in the Greater Accra Region.
