A Security Expert, Dr Ishmael Norman, has stated that President Akufo-Addo should not be blamed for the casualties that were recorded when Military personnel clashed with some protesting youth in Ejura Sekyedumase.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Wednesday, Dr Norman stated that, 'it is sometimes unfair to castigate the leadership of the country when Military brutalities are recorded in parts of the country".

His comment comes after two persons were shot dead, while four others sustained gun shot injuries after some protesting youth of Ejura Sekyedumase clashed with Military and Police personnel on Tuesday.

Dr Norman said the President is not the one who gave the order for the security personnel to do what they did, thus, the citizenry should be moderate with their chastisement.

“I am sure that between yesterday [Tuesday] and today [Wednesday] the President must have summoned the National Security Coordinator or Minister and other dignitaries within the national security apparatus to inform him of development at Ejura,” he said.

Meanwhile, the President has instructed the Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery to undertake a public inquiry into incidents leading to the causalities in Ejura.

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

The youth stormed the Police station to inquire about the extent of investigation into the murder of their colleague, stressing that they want the Police to leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators to book.

Although the Police told them that two persons have been arrested in connection with the crime, the agitated protestors said it was just a façade.

Pressing home their demand for justice, the youth hit to the streets and were met by the Military and Police personnel.

Four soldiers were seen moving in a horizontal line with a Police water cannon discharging on the protestors.

Initially, the Military started shooting into the sky but at some point, when the protesters charged, they started shooting into the crowd.
