The source of an order for Military intervention in Ejura which led to the death of two people has finally been disclosed.
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah speaking in an interview on Peace FM's morning show ‘Kokrokoo’ said the order came from him.
According to him, he received intel that the youth intended to set the police station and other houses on fire and so as the head of REGSEC he called for the Military to ensure nothing of that sort takes place.
"I am the one who called the military to go to Ejura after I had intel that the irate youth were going to burn the police station and two other houses . . . So I called on the military to protect citizens and property,” he divulged.
Two dead
Reacting to the death of the two, the Regional Minister said “it’s unfortunate it ended in the death of two people but this is not the first time soldiers have been called on to assist the police in enforcing law and order. The death is unfortunate and sad…but let’s look at the other issues and deal with them wholistically”.
Political intrusion
Meanwhile, Simon Osei Mensah believes had there been no political intrusion from the #fixthecountry movement, things would not have escalated.
“The politicians should also take some of the blame; if the #fixthecountry campaigners didn’t allege that their member has been killed, things would have taken a different turn…Kaaka is a liberal person and not part of the #fixthecountry campaigner; he fights for the development of Ejura.”

This ediot knows nana addo won't fire him that's why he is openly admitting he ordered the military to go to Ejura. I blame the GAF leadership. In JJs time, who born dog for someone like this fuull to be ordering the military. If the military leadership after their years of professional training will allow themselves to be manipulated by fuulls like this man and Nitiwul then what was the essence of their training. Can imagine Nitiwul ordering chief of defence staff, what that this small boy know in military to be appointed defence minister?
Ah this Minister paaa.... we all know Gh army is full of idi-ots who can't use their brains to think so why will he send them to such a place? Idi-ots in Europe are more than the ***barred word*** in Ghana but I've never seen a European military officer abusing civilians the way Ghana army officers civilians. Why can't punish those officer who abuse civilians? A bunch of use less folks
You have supervised the killing of two humans. You say in one breath it’s regrettable, and the next you justify it.
This man is a foolishhhhhhh minister look at ur age and you still think evil God will kill you like a chicken ***barred word*** MAN
i think you have to resign to save Nana Addo because such appiontees like your type always disgrace the President. my take.
Very very sad how the country is turned into..the Millitary needs proper training. How can you leave a country where all powers belongs to the president who make decisions and is in charge of everything. The constitution must be changed as the police and the military needs proper common sense training..soldier on streets shooting own citizens who were demonstrating peaceful for their anger of killing a young Muslim who was revealing the truth about the rots in Ejura and Ashanti region..Same way they killed Ahmed Suale Broad day light after Ken threatened to kill and beat him live on national television and Ken is walking freely...joking country with bad leadership.
Waaaa look at this contradiction...this man must be sacked...he said Kaaka is not part of fixthecountry movement and later change and say fixthecountry escalated the situation...what an illiterate
I guess the headline should be "I told" not "I asked"
THIS IS CLASSIC LEADERSHIP!
