WATCH: HeartBreaking Video Of How Soldiers Shot And Killed Ejura Protesters

Two people have died, while four others are injured after some protesting youth of Ejura Sekyedumase clashed with the military and police on Tuesday morning.

Since the death of the 40-year-old Ibrahim Mohammed, aka Kaaka, the youth say they are willing to sacrifice their lives until they get justice for him.

The youth stormed the police station on Tuesday morning to inquire about the extent of investigations regarding the murder of their colleague, stressing that they want the Police to leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators to book.
