Concerned Bole citizens petition Interior Minister over serial killings in Bole

Concerned Bole citizens have petitioned the Minister of Interior, Henry Quartey, over the recent serial killings in Bole.

The killings have resulted in the youth of the area embarking on a peaceful demonstration to compel authorities to address the issue with immediate effect.

“We, the Concerned Citizens of Bole, through this petition, seek to register our utmost displeasure and disappointment at the lacklustre behaviour and inaction of the Ghana Police Service in the face of a clear security threat that has claimed 20 precious lives in the Bole Community and Bole administrative District,” they revealed.

According to the youth, they witnessed how the Ghana Police Service swiftly responded to the murder cases in Jirapa in the Upper West Region and Maame Krobo in the Eastern Region and constantly provided updates for the same cases.

“This is a clear case of unfairness and selective application of the rules, which begs the question of whether some people are more Ghanaian than others. The residents of Bole are now living in a sketchy environment, contemplating who will be the next victim. We are no longer safe in our community and cannot go about our normal routines without fear of consequences,” they added.

The convener of the concerned citizens of Bole, Mahama Haruna, indicated that the petition is aimed at drawing the attention of the Interior Minister to the serial killings in the Bole District and to demand swift action from his outfit to restore peace, order, and hope in their community.

He added that it is again to demand a comprehensive account from his men on the 20 murder cases in the Bole Districts, the progress made so far, and the assurance that perpetrators will be brought to justice.

The petition is also to request a security beef up in the Bole District in terms of personnel and logistics to ensure effective policing in their town, which has sadly become a den of serial killers.

“To demand that the people of Bole be carried along the investigation process where constant updates and statements will be issued as it is done in similar cases. We demand that justice be served without fear or favor. Anyone allegedly involved in these heinous crimes, regardless of status or class, should not be left off the hook in the dispensation of justice,” he said.
