The Youth Organiser for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) George Opare Addo has explained the rationale behind the National Democratic Congress' 'march for justice.'

According to him, the march was to demand justice for "all Ghanaians who have been murdered in cold blood by acts of state security."

He made the remarks on the sideline of the NDC's "march for justice" held on Tuesday by the youth wing of the party.

Speaking at the event, he explained that the march was not in demand of justice for only the #FixTheCountry social activist who was allegedly murdered due to his involvement in the campaign but for all unresolved murders resulting from military brutalities.

He further lamented the state of insecurity in the country and called on the President to caution the military.

He said the protest was triggered by the death of two other persons who died during the military clash in Ejura when the youth stormed the streets in demand of justice for Ibrahim Kaaka Mohammed.

"If you recall, the NDC MPs have demanded that the Interior Minister comes before Parliament to tell us about what the government is doing about the people who lost their lives during the elections. So it's not because of Kaaka.

"What broke the camel's back was the two who were shot again by the military on the 29th of June. And what we told ourselves was that it is unacceptable for Ghanaian lives to be lost like that. We saw what happened in Manso-Adubease where 7 innocent people were murdered in cold blood. They were initially tagged as armed robbers, only for the police to turn around and say that they were not armed robbers.

"Three years down the line, not a single person has been prosecuted. But George Floyd died in America and the government of Ghana had the nerves and impetus to celebrate and organise a funeral for George Floyd. Those Ghanaian lives which were lost were more important than that of George Floyd's.

"So we are not just demanding justice for Kaaka. We are demanding justice for every Ghanaian who has been murdered in cold blood by acts of state security. Too many brutalities have gone on under this administration and we believe that it is time to demand justice," he added.
