Mahama requests an update from the IGP on deaths related to the 2020 and 2024 elections.

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

President Mahama assured 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 took place at the Kanda National Mosque in Accra.

He revealed that for appropriate action to be taken, he had given formal instructions to his secretary to write to the Inspector General of Police for an update on the incidents.

This will serve as the basis for further investigations aimed at determining the cause of the deaths and holding those responsible accountable.

“This is not the first time. In 2020 we know that eight of our citizens were murdered. If this continues and justice is not done, then what is done is generate impunity. And that is why, as a party, we have said that we must investigate and find out what led to these murders so that we can take measures so that they do not happen again,” he explained.

President Mahama also promised to ensure that the families of the victims received fair and sufficient compensation.

He stated that an attempt will be made to determine appropriate restitution to assist 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 lost their lives when he takes office.”
