Oh so the only offence he committed was having good intentions of bringing development to the region and thus creating jobs for his people? This is why the northern part of our country lacks development and they always run to the south to become slaves just as ghanaians destroy ghana and run to the diaspora to seek greener pastures
Very sad news to hear considering the number of youth he employed from the Jirapa, i keep asking why didn't have at least 2 able bodied security men at his residence because he had the means to pay them well. This man is/was the only native from upper west who made his fortune outside the region bur decided to come back to his home region with such a multi million dollar investment, as to why someone or a group of people will want to take his life is difficult to understand. Anyway Eric Johnson is gone with the soup, those who killed him will one day also go with the fufu, without soup, fufu cannot be eaten. May his gentle soul rest in peace
