EASTERN REGION NPP CONDEMNS GRUESOME MURDER OF HON. J. B. DANKWA ADU, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR ABUAKWA NORTH CONSTITUENCY
The Eastern Region branch of the New Patriotic Party is in the state of shock and grief about the gruesome murder of Hon. J. B. Dankwa Adu, Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North Constituency. We condemn this despicable, heinous and very barbaric act in the strongest terms it deserves.
We call on the Ghana Police Service and the security agencies to ensure the speedy investigation into this dastardly crime and bring the perpetrators to face the full rigors of the law.
We take note of the fact that in recent times there have been spates of these murders across the country. It is our belief that when the law is enforced and expressed to its fullest it will serve as a deterrent to other ungodly individuals in the society. In the same vein we call on the government to make the security of every Ghanaian a priority.
The party shares the pain and anguishes of the family of our beloved MP most especially his wife and children and the entire party membership and constituents of Abuakwa North. Indeed we have lost one of our hardworking and resourceful MPs who had his constituents at heart.
In these difficult and heartbreaking times, we appeal to all our supporters to remain calm as we await the results of the police investigation.
We call on all well meaning Ghanaians with any information to report same to the security agencies to help apprehend the perpetrator(s) of this abominable act.
Indeed we are traumatised but we know God Almighty is in control.
