Vice President John Mahama has reiterated his desire to seek justice for some 44 Ghanaians brutally murdered in Gambia in 2003.He told Journalists in Accra he has called for a briefing from the ECOWAS committee mandated to investigate the matter, and a decision will be taken thereafter.He assured government will seek adequate compensation from the Gambian authorities to appease the relatives of the victims, adding, bodies of the victims would be retrieved for the appropriate burial ceremony to take place in Ghana.
Vice President Mahama was an ardent critic of the Kufuor administration and advocated for a tougher stance to be taken on Gambia.He suggested government must sever diplomatic relations with Gambia until they cooperate with investigations.The killings were suspected to have been perpetrated by operatives of the Gambian government and have since frustrated efforts to investigate the matter.Not even the United Nations emissary tasked with the responsibility to investigate the killings have made any headway, at least for now, but have shown no signs of giving up, until they get to the bottom of the killing.Vice president Mahama said a lot more pressure will be mounted on the Gambia to extract more information on the details of the killing.Story by Nathan Gadugah
