Two arrested over death of #FixTheCountry campaigner

Police in the Ashanti Region has arrested two persons in connection with the killing of Ibrahim Muhammed aka Kaaka, a social activist in Ejura.

The suspects have been identified as Ibrahim Isaka and Fuseini Alhassan.

Both suspects were arrested at about 10:45 pm on Monday, June 28, 2021, following police intelligence.

Witness accounts showed that the deceased was ambushed in front of his house when he was returning home on his motorbike at about 1:30 am on Sunday, June 27, 2021.

Ibrahim Muhammed was rushed to the Ejura Government Hospital to receive medical treatment after the attack.

He was later transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital where he died at midday on Monday, June 28, 2021, the Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), Godwin Ahianyo told the media at a press briefing.

Ibrahim Muhammed, aged 45, prior to his death took to social media where he posts critiques in the Ejura Municipality and other issues of national importance.

His last activity on Facebook was to share a post criticising the arrest of 15 members of the #TheFixCountry at the High Court Complex on June 25.

Meanwhile, it is emerging that his death is linked to his social media-based activism.

Providing an account of the incident on Citi FM, the widow of the deceased, Sahada Hudu, said she found him in a pool of blood after the attack.

“I thought my husband was driving away goats from the house at the time. Little did I know that he was being attacked. We saw him in a pool of blood. The people bolted as soon as we opened the door to check what was happening,” she recounted.
