DROP THATCHAMBER: AKUFO-ADDO PETITIONED OVER DETENTION OF SOLDIER
The Economic Fighters League (EFL), has appealed to President Nana Akufo-Addo to pardon Lance Corporal Isaac Wassah over his 90-day detention punishment.
The Lance Corporal was handed the punishment after he was seen in a viral video in military uniform speaking against the construction of a new Parliamentary chamber.
The soldier was arrested in July and handed the punitive measure amidst divided public view on whether or not his action was justified.
The Economic Fighters League, which criticized the controversial construction project that has since been suspended, believes that the soldier should not be punished for expressing his views.
According to reports, Lance Corporal Lincoln Isaac Wassah of 2 Recce Squadron in Sunyani, did not show any sign of remorse when he faced a committee that was set up to investigate his action.
