President John Dramani Mahama has directed his Executive Secretary to formally write to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to request an update on the status of investigations into the deaths that occurred during the 2020 and 2024 elections.
Speaking at the National Muslim Prayer and Thanksgiving event held at the National Mosque in Kanda in Accra on Friday, January 10, President Mahama assured the public of his administration's commitment to justice.
He revealed that he had instructed his secretary to formally write to the Inspector General of Police to request an update on the incidents for the necessary steps to be taken.

This will form the basis for further investigations to uncover the circumstances surrounding the deaths and to hold those responsible accountable.
"This is not the first time. In 2020, we know that eight of our citizens were killed. If these continue and justice is not served, then what it does is, it breeds impunity. And that's why, as a party, we have said that we must investigate and find out what led to these killings so that we can take action so that they don't happen again," he explained.
Additionally, President Mahama pledged to ensure fair and adequate compensation for the families of the victims.

He noted that once the new Attorney General assumes office, efforts will be made to assess the appropriate reparations to support the affected families.
"And we also will ask the Attorney General, when he takes office to determine, fair and adequate compensation for the families of those who have lost their lives," he added.
