All we need is justice for Albert Donkor – NPP Vice chairman

First vice chairman of the Japan branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) – Awuah Michael, and people in the Constituency are demanding justice and accountability from the Ghana Police Service in respect of a suspect who died in their custody some days ago.

In an interview with, he revealed that the Police arrested the suspect, Albert Donkor on April 25, 2022, at 1:00am from his mother’s residence at Kasadjan on suspicions that he was part of the people who took part in a robbery incident that occurred earlier on the Nkoranza- Kintampo road.

“After the arrest by the police Albert Donkor was denied access to a lawyer of his choice, his friends and even his family members were denied access to him, he was never tried by any competent court and today, all we are hearing is- Albert is no more, how reckless can the Police Service be,” Mr. Awuah said.

“It is about time we let the globe know about the unprofessionalism of the police in Nkoransa and we would plead that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) should take a very critical look at it because it is becoming unbecoming and we the citizens don’t want to take the law into our own hands.”

He added that “this is indeed an epidemic of injustice, the citizens of Nkoranza cannot stay silent and enjoy when innocent Albert Donkor has been targeted and killed because the same thing can happen to them anytime.”

“The speculative and often uninformed initial reporting that characterizes eyewitnesses appears to be rapidly becoming the standard of the Ghana Police Service,”

“I call on the President, Ministers of State, human rights organisations and the clergy to add their voice to this clarion call to demand justice for Albert Donkor who was shot by the Police leading to his untimely death as a result of the unprofessional conduct of some men in uniform.”
