Following the unfortunate demise of both people, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), James Oppong-Boanuh, has placed a GH¢20,000 bounty on the head of the killers.
The IGP has ordered investigators from CID Headquarters to support the Central Region’s team to work at solving the murder of the Hon. Ekow Quansah.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had ordered the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies to immediately investigate the killing of the lawmaker.
The NPP leader said he was shocked and saddened by news of the murder of the MP.

The president added that the late MP was appreciated and loved by his constituents and called on the police to bring the perpetrators of the act to book.
“My deepest condolences to his family, to the Mfantseman constituency, to the New Patriotic Party, and to Parliament. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” the president added.
