The Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery, has been summoned by Parliament to present a detailed account of the recent shooting incident in Sege, Greater Accra Region, resulting in the unfortunate death of one individual.
The conflict, stemming from a disagreement between Ada residents and the salt mining company Electrochem Ghana, escalated into a shooting incident at Toflokpo, leading to one fatality and multiple injuries.
Following a statement by the Member of Parliament for the affected area condemning the incident, First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei Owusu, announced that the Interior Minister is required to appear before the house during the first week of December.
The purpose of this appearance is to provide an update on the situation, including the circumstances surrounding the violence, the perpetrators involved, and clarification on whether the police, security forces, or the private company were responsible for firing into the crowd.
Deputy Speaker Owusu emphasized that after the minister’s briefing, if necessary, the Committee of Defence and Interior would be directed to conduct further investigations into the matter.
