In the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba sector of the Savannah Region, the relatives of three people killed by police are calling for justice from the force. In 2022, the police arrested Jimah Kocho, Habibu Abudi, and Haadi Salifu from their houses in three different neighborhoods on suspicion that they were involved in a local robbery.
Family members claim they arrived in Accra and had to file a lawsuit before learning that their loved ones were slain in a gunfight. An uncle of two of the deceased said that the perpetrators of the act need to be looked into and punished, and Chief Inspector Adams Yahaya retired.
“We made some enquiries, and they told us the operation was not sanctioned by police headquarters or the National Operations in Accra. There’s no amount of money that can compensate human lives. So those who sanctioned the operation, we want the law to take its course, they should be investigated by a committee. If they are found culpable, they should be put before the court.
“All the deceased had children and wives, we need something [money] that can cater for their children from now to the tertiary level. We also need an apology from the policy administration. They have tainted the image of the family, those boys were not armed robbers,” he said.
