The Majority Leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, has called for an immediate end to ongoing military brutality in Bawku following the killing of a soldier.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament yesterday, he condemned the actions of soldiers who had been beating up residents indiscriminately since last night.
He acknowledged the tragic loss of the soldier and extended his condolences to the bereaved family but insisted that the military's response was excessive and unacceptable. "I will never condone the killing of anyone, especially a soldier who has left his family to help us establish law and order." "I urge law enforcement agencies to work with community leaders to investigate and identify the perpetrator," he said.
However, Mr Ayariga criticised the military's retaliatory actions, describing them as an attack on innocent civilians.
