Uneasy calm at Asawase as Gov't delegation finally meets Muslim leaders over recent killings

A government delegation and the top hierarchy of the Ghana Police Service have had successful meetings with Muslim leaders in Ashanti on the killing of 7 alleged armed robbers by the Ashanti police.  

GBC’s Radio Ghana sources indicate that the leaders promised a full scale investigation to lay the matter to rest.  

The Police announced on Tuesday that seven out of the eight suspected robbers, whose attack reportedly led to the death of a Police Officer with the SWAT Unit of the Ashanti Regional Police Command, had been gunned down after a gun battle. 

But families of some of the deceased persons have disputed the claims of the police. 

The families have suggested that the police wrongfully killed their “innocent” relatives who they say are not robbers as claimed by the police. 

Many others have since said the Police account of how the seven persons were killed was incoherent.
