Afia Kyeraa, the 45-year-old mother of Sheriff Imoro, the military officer who was allegedly murdered by some persons at Ashaiman Taifa, has commended the Military on their efforts to find the killers of her son and has said the military should continue with the alleged brutality even for a month to make sure her son’s killers are brought to book.
According to her, although some sections of Ghanaians have condemned the alleged military brutality, she supports the action.
“I want the military to continue beating these young men. If they continue like that, they will be forced to fish out those responsible and so even if they will use a month to beat and brutalize them, I will be happy because they have taken away my heart,” she said.
Madam Kyeraa’s comment comes after soldiers stormed Ashaiman looking for answers following the alleged stabbing to death of their colleague by unknown assailants in the area.
To her, the killing of his son is a big blow to the family as he was to be the breadwinner of the family.
She also sent strong warnings to those making unfounded reports against his late son.
“You people should stop making those ugly noises, would you be happy if he were your son? Allow my son to rest in peace. This is very painful. We cannot take it any longer because the pain is too much for us to bear,” she said amid tears.
On the 6th of March, it was reported that a 21-year-old soldier with the Ghana Armed Forces band in Sunyani in the Bono Region has been killed at Taifa, a suburb of Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region.
According to reports, he was stabbed several times by unknown attackers in the early hours of Saturday.
Reports suggest that he was returning from his girlfriend’s house in Taifa and heading towards his residence at Zongo-Laka at Ashaiman when the unfortunate incident occurred.
He was carrying a laptop and other electronic gadgets, but the attackers made away with only his iPhone.
Information gathered is that the police are currently investigating the circumstances under which the soldier was killed.
The soldiers invaded the Ashaiman community after their colleague was killed in the area on Saturday, March 4.
In a bid to find the perpetrators of the murder, the soldiers took over the streets of Ashaiman to brutalize some residents.
