The Inspector General of Police has sent specialized investigators from the CID Headquarters to support the Central region’s Crime Scene Team to solve the alleged robbery incident and murder of Member of Parliament for Mfantseman, Hon. Ekow Quansah.
The New Patriotic Party Member of parliament together with his driver were reportedly shot Friday morning by armed robbers.
The six armed men reports say blocked the road linking Abeadze Dominase and were robbing commuters of their belongings.
The incident which follows series of robbery incidents in recent times has sparked conversation on the state of security in the country.
“The IGP has sent specialized investigators from CID Headquarters to support the Central region’s Crime Scene Team to solve the alleged robbery incident and murder of Member of Parliament for Mfantseman, Hon. Ekow Quansah,” a police statement said.
The statement added that “A reward of twenty thousand Ghana Cedis (20,000.00) has also been offered to any person who gives credible information that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators, while the public is being urged to remain calm.”
Meanwhile, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sent his condolences to the family and constituents of the late MP while charging the police to find the killers.
“It is a sad day for Mfantseman and for Mother Ghana. My last encounter with him was on 30th June, this year, when I commissioned a water supply project at Anomansa, in his constituency. By all accounts, he was very much appreciated and loved by his constituents, and I expect the police to bring the perpetrators of this gruesome, cruel act to book as soon as possible. My deepest condolences to his family, to the Mfantseman constituency, to the New Patriotic Party, and to Parliament. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” the President indicated.
