<\/p>\nMinority Chief Whip, Mubarak Muntaka, is calling for an independent investigation to ascertain the cause of death of a 38-year old suspected robber who was killed by Police in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
Awudu Osman, also known as Awudu Ninja, was shot and killed by police with his alleged accomplice Lukeman Mohammed, also known as Alfa.<\/p>\n
A final funeral rites had been held for both suspects according to Islamic tradition.<\/p>\n
Relatives of Osman have intensified their call for justice for the deceased, after they had given Government and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) a three-day ultimatum to investigate the death.<\/p>\n
The situation prompted the Asawase Member of Parliament, Muntaka Mubarak, to raise the matter on the floor of Parliament, where he requested that the Interior Minister be made to appear before MPs to speak to the matter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr. Muntaka, who was at the funeral on Sunday, reiterated his\u00a0 resolve to get to the bottom of the matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, we will continue to pursue till we get justice for him. I mean, the Minister for Interior has Tuesday or Wednesday to come and brief the house, and obviously I think we will push for an independent investigation so that we don\u2019t leave it to the police, but we will get an independent body to investigate this so we can ascertain the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Asawase MP, who later visited the pregnant widow of one of the deceased persons, said she was still traumatized over the incident, and feared her children and other relatives could be stigmatized in the future.<\/p>\n
He cautioned the youth to be patience and not to take the laws into their hands. He also urged relatives of the deceased to cooperate with the process in their quest to seek justice for the deceased persons.<\/p>\n
The family is yet to get a copy of an autopsy report which was handed to police by doctors on Thursday.<\/p>\n
