Ivy Danquah-Adu, the wife of the late Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa North Constituency, Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu, is worried about the delay in prosecuting her late husband’s supposed killers.<\/p>\n
The visibly worried widow said the delay is akin to injustice.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/strong> on the sidelines of a ceremony to observe one year of the MP\u2019s death, Ivy Danquah-Adu said the immediate family is still pained by cold murder of the late legislator.<\/p>\n \u201cIt has not been easy for us. What has been a story for many people and an event that occurred, has been our reality; my children and I, but God has kept us alive. Justice delayed is justice denied,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The Abuakwa North legislator was on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 stabbed to death at his Shiashie residence in Accra.<\/p>\n Two days after his murder, the Accra Regional Police Command, led by COP Dr George A. Dampare, led an operation to arrest a suspect who allegedly confessed to committing the crime.<\/p>\n The prime suspect, Daniel Asiedu, a teenager, is currently facing trial before an Accra Magistrate court in the case that has been ongoing for over 9 months.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said it will use every means available to it, to provide justice and bring closure to the murder case.<\/p>\n A former Minister of Information in the erstwhile Kufour administration, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, told Citi News<\/strong> in an earlier interview that the NPP is ready to assist the police to speed up the investigation.<\/p>\n \u2018Failure to serve justice will affect NPP\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the family of the late Abuakwa North legislator say the New Patriotic Party government\u2019s failure to ensure justice for the family will affect the party\u2019s electoral fortunes.<\/p>\n According to an uncle of the deceased, Kwasi Frempong, the NPP government must endeavor to fast-track the legal process which he said has been moving at a slow pace for the past year.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Jonas Nyabor\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ivy Danquah-Adu, the wife of the late Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa North Constituency, Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu, is worried about the delay in prosecuting her late husband’s supposed killers.
