Former President John Dramani Mahama has condemned attacks on personnel of the Ghana Police Service stressing the need for measures to be put in place to help protect members on the force.
His comment follows the gruesome killing of two police officers at Kasoa in the Central Region on Wednesday, August 28, 2019.
In a facebook post, Mr. Mahama condemned the act adding that authorities should ensure those found culpable are made to face the full rigors of the law.
“Sad to learn, yet again, of the gruesome killing of two policemen in Kasoa. Our law enforcement officers are doing their best under very challenging circumstances to protect life and property. I, therefore, condemn the increasing spate of violence against them,” Mr. Mahama said in a Facebook post.
He added “May their families be consoled and may the perpetrators be brought to justice sooner than later. ”
Sergeant Michael Gyamasi and Lance Corporal Awal Mohammed were killed by unidentified gunmen while on duty at the Kasoa-Winneba road in the Central Region.
