Victim of military brutality in Ashaiman dies

Lawyer reports the death of one victim of military abuse in Ashaiman

Emmanuel Kumador, the solicitor for one of the Ashaiman victims of military abuse, reports that his client has passed away.

He claimed that Alhaji Mohammed Musah, the victim, passed away on Monday.

On Thursday’s Top Story on Joy FM, Mr. Kumador revealed this.

The victim tried to run after learning that the military was in the area, but he was unsuccessful and fell, according to the lawyer who described the incident.

According to the solicitor, this specific victim had hypertension, which caused him to become ill following the fall and eventually pass away.

On March 7, 2023, within Ashaiman, the late Alhaji Mohammed Musah was one of the victims of military brutality. He was sitting in front of his house when he noticed the soldiers, who shouted at him. He then began to run towards his house, but as soon as he did, he fell.

Mr. Kumador stated, He is already hypertensive, so his BP shot up and he was admitted at the hospital; we just learned that three days ago he could not survive.

Dr. Al Hassan Hanif, who was in charge of treating many of the wounded, confirmed to JoyNews that many of the victims had reported having lacerations on their heads, various bruises on their backs, and some of them were bleeding heavily.

He acknowledged hearing about the alleged death when questioned about it.

He stated a post-mortem is being conducted to see whether there is a connection between what happened and Alhaji Mohammed Musah’s passing.
