“We wish to assure the public that we will continue to work to ensure justice is served to the satisfaction of all stakeholders,” parts of the statement stated.

One person died, while several others sustained injuries after the youth of Nkoranza clashed with the Police to protest Albert Donkor’s death.

The youth have been demanding justice for a 28-year-old trader, Albert Akwasi Donkor, who is suspected to have been killed by the Police in connection with an alleged robbery.

Their protest led to the death of 19-year-old Victor Owusu, a final-year student of the Nkoranza Technical Institute.
