The National Peace Council has advised the military to allow the Police to handle the recent incident in which a soldier, Imoro Sheriff, was killed at Ashaiman in the Greater Accra region.
The Peace Council executive secretary, George Amoh, emphasized that the police have the expertise to deal with such situations and that the military should have exercised restraint and not taken the law into their own hands by brutalizing residents.
During a recent interview with TV3, Mr Amoh stated that the Peace Council had not issued a statement on the matter, but added, “coming from a human rights point of view, I think that the military could have allowed the police to investigate it.”
He went on to say, “Our Police have the resilience and all the strategies to get whoever was involved so I think they should have exercised residents and allowed the Police whose duty it is to arrest people of such nature, those who commit crimes. to do it. The Police have indicated strongly that they have the capacity to do that.”
