The family of Shahid Abubakari, 27, who was shot and killed by Upper West Regional Police anti-robbery officers, is requesting the urgent creation of an impartial committee to investigate the incident.
They contend that the police should acknowledge their error, express regret, and express regret to the family for unjustly taking the life of their cherished Son.
The family of the 27-year-old who was shot and killed by the anti-robbery unit of the Upper West Regional Police on Wednesday night in Wa is still in shock and is not persuaded by the explanations provided by the anti-robbery unit of the Upper West Regional Police Command for the killing of their son and labeling him as an armed robber.
The police anti-robbery task group is said to have executed the dead, Abubakar Shahban, because of his claimed affiliation with a robbery gang that has been active in Wa and its surroundings.
The family petitioned and demanded the following during a press conference.
The mother of the murdered 27-year-old, Nma Zainab Abubakari, says she was not surprised to learn of her son’s passing because she believes that every soul must return to its creator. However, she says she was shocked to learn that her son had been marked by the police as a criminal, which is never the case.
Some irate teenagers who were present during the press conference have also been discussing their opinions and making threats to break the law if the security does not act appropriately.
After learning of the passing of his younger brother Shahid, deceased Issah Issahaqu, commonly known as Cleck, a former employee of Zoomlion, also passed away.
Since then, both of them have been interred in accordance with Islamic custom.
