Protestors were coming at us with guns, machetes, other weapons – Police

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has said that the cause of shooting by its officer and the military during a demonstration in Ejura Sekyeredumase earlier today was that protesters not only refused to retreat but charged on the security officers with firearms, clubs, machetes and stones as the officers attempted to quell the spontaneous protest.

Many have condemned the use of live rounds of ammunition by the military and the police as they attempted to disperse protesters who were protesting the brutal killing of popular activist Mohammed Ibrahim(Kaaka) in Ejura.

But reacting in a press release dated June 29, 2021 and signed by ASP Godwin Ahianyo, the Public Relations Officer of the Ashanti Regional Police, the explained that it was only after the police had failed to quell the protests with warning shots and upon the attack launched on the military and the police.

“Preliminary investigations show that following the burial of Ibrahim Mohammed Kaaka at Mempeasem cemetery at Ejura today 29th June 2021, some irate youth blocked the main Ejura Atebubu road impeding traffic. The Police moved in with military reinforcement to quell the situation but the irate youth charged on the security officers with all manner of implements including firearms, clubs, machetes and stones. The security officials fired shots to disperse the angry mob who failed to retreat but rather massed up at all comers. The death and injuries were recorded in the process”, a statement from the police revealed.
