An Anglican priest and an uncle to the 28-year-old man allegedly killed by police at Nkoranza in the Bono East Region has threatened to invoke a deity to curse the police for lying.

Reverend Father Mathias Sarkodie threatened to invoke a deity on the police because, according to him, they have concocted stories to frame up the murder of his nephew.

“if not for the fact that I am a Reverend Minister, I would have invoked a deity to curse the police for their fabricated ‘armed robbery’ report over the death of my nephew,” he said.

A report by The Newsroom Online indicates he made the comment on Akoma FM‘s current affairs and political show GhanAkoma Wednesday, May 18, 2022.

The comments by Rev Sarkodie follow a police report on the killing. The report stated that Albert Donkor, who was a satellite television dish installer, in the company of a gang of five, were involved in a series of armed robbery attacks including two robbery incidents on April 19 and 20.

The family of the deceased young man has since vehemently rejected the police report, claiming their relative was slain by the police for reasons best known to them.
