In order to get an update on the progress of the investigations into the killings that took place during the 2020 and 2024 elections, President John Dramani Mahama has instructed his Executive Secretary to formally write to the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

President Mahama reassured the public of his administration's dedication to justice during his remarks at the National Muslim Prayer and Thanksgiving ceremony on Friday, January 10, which was hosted at the National Mosque in Kanda in Accra.

He disclosed that in order for the appropriate actions to be done, he had given his secretary formal instructions to write to the Inspector General of Police to get an update on the incidences.

This will serve as the foundation for additional inquiries aimed at determining the cause of the fatalities and bringing those accountable.

“This is not the first time. In 2020, we know that eight of our citizens were killed. If these continue and justice is not served, then what it does is, it breeds impunity. And that’s why, as a party, we have said that we must investigate and find out what led to these killings so that we can take action so that they don’t happen again,” he explained.



President Mahama also promised to make sure the victims' relatives received just and sufficient compensation.



He stated that attempts will be made to determine the proper restitution to assist the impacted families as soon as the new Attorney General takes office.



He went on to say, "And we will also ask the Attorney General to determine fair and adequate compensation for the families of those who have lost their lives when he takes office."
