Macho Kaaka, a social media activist who died after a mob attack on June Saturday, June 26, 2021, was seen in one of his last videos talking about his safety in society.
The late Kaaka said this whilst he was running a commentary on the incident of a policeman at Korle Bu getting killed during a bullion van robbery that occurred two weeks ago.
In the video that is now being circulated after his demise, Kaaka stated that he is not safe as an individual in society if a policeman who is supposed to protect him could be killed in such a manner.
