Banda Killing: Show Respect To The Dead And Stop Peddling Falsehood — Bono NDC Tells NPP

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Bono Region has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Banda Constituency of an attempt to cover up the murder case of the 28-year-old Silas Wulochamey with lies and propaganda.

The NDC noted that instead the NPP to condemn and sympathise with the bereaved family, it is rather engaging in unsubstantiated claims.

The NPP accused the MP of the area, Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim of bussing in five foreigners from Ivory Coast to register in the constituency.

At a news conference in Bono Region, the Secretary of the regional NDC, Dennis Twumasi indicated that the accusation was hatched by one, Prince, an employee of the Wildlife of the Forestry Commission with a fake video recording.

He said the alleged ladies are known residents in Bongase with their landlord and landlady known NPP Members. Yaw Zugu and Madam Akua Donkor respectively, all of Bongase led by a known NPP woman activist guaranteed for the five ladies to partake in the ongoing voter's registration.

According to Dennis Twumasi, the NPP must accord respect to the dead and sympathize with the bereaved family and desist from peddling falsehood around.

“Instead of the NPP leadership condemning and sympathizing with the bereaved Family of Silas, the 28-year young man who met this untimely death through the hands of the NPP Thugs, they engage in this fabrication of naked lies about Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim, just to cover up the running media story of the death of Silas. This is very disrespectful to the family of the young man to say the least.”

Based on the claims, the NDC is calling on the Interior minister and the Attorney General’s Office to investigate and prosecute these five young ladies alleged to be nationals of Ivory Coast together with their Landlord/Landlady, including their alleged accomplices who led them to the registration centre or better still, repatriate them.

Silas Wulochamey, a new graduate from Akim Oda Teacher Training College was allegedly accosted and stabbed by some men at Banda Kabrono on Monday when returning from a visit to his pastor at Wenchi Methodist.

The said men are thugs believed to be supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) who mistook him to be an NDC sympathizer and without any provocation stabbed him leading to his death.
