Soldier who knelt to take aim at Kaaka murder protestors provokes public anger
A picture of a military man aiming at and shooting live bullets at fleeing protesters in Ejura is currently making the rounds on social media.
In the said image, the soldier, apparently unable to hit the protesters in full flight, kneels down on one knee and aims at them.
The image has provoked anger on social media, with many wondering why the military was involved in such a seemingly harmless demonstration in the first place.
In the aftermath of the shooting, two have been left dead while several others battle for their lives.
Following protests from the youth, the hospital has released the body of one of the murdered victims to the family for burial in tune with Islamic custom.
Background
Mohammed Ibrahim, a known member of the New Patriotic Party(NPP)and a recent activist against the failing of the NPP, was found badly beaten and left to his fate in front of his house. He later died in hospital, provoking massive protests in the town of Ejura.
Before his killing, Kaaka used the #FixTheCountry to expose ills and lack of government action in the Municipality of Ejura Sekyeredumase.
He had allegedly received threats from persons suspected to be aligned to the NPP and loyal to the current Municipal Chief Executive(MCE), who was at the receiving end of Mr Kaaka’s criticism and activism on social media.
