Kaaka’s Family Has No Right To Question Our Work - Vladimir Antwi Danso

A member of the Justice Koomson Committee that probed the Ejura disturbances, Vladimir Antwi Danso, has chided the family of the late Ibrahim Mohammed, popularly known as Kaaka, following its criticism of the committee’s report. Dr. Antwi Danso indicated that the family had no right to criticize the committee’s work.

They do not have the right to question us because they did not send us. We did the best of work and we do not owe anyone an apology. The work has also been done meticulously, said Antwi Danso. The brother of the late Kaaka, Nafiu Mohammed on Monday said the findings and the recommendations of the committee were also

completely problematic. The committee particularly said it did not think that per the testimonies it received, Kaaka was killed as a result of his activism, and that his killing may be also connected to a family feud. Going through the document, you will realize that there are a lot of factual inaccuracies. But what can we do? It is

human beings who sat before four individuals, and they came out with this, so we have to study it. But generally. I have problems with everything about the findings and recommendations too. We have lived for centuries and there is no feud among us. We also think that in the law court, we can also examine some of the testimonies

because some of the witnesses knew they were going to peddle falsehood, so they went in camera. So to be frank, we are not happy with the report, it contains a lot of speculations and factual inaccuracies. Doctor Antwi Danso however insisted his concerns were unfounded, as the committee too was not tasked to probe Kaaka’s

killing. He also believes the family should channel their concerns to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and not the committee or its work. We also made it so clear that we did not come to investigate Kaaka’s [killing]. What happened to Kaaka is a criminal thing and nowhere in the world is criminality investigated by the

committee. It is the work of the CID and they have not finished their work. The Committee also has no right towards the CID too, and Kaaka’s family should have an interest in the CID, not our committee. The committee in its ten recommendations recommended compensation for the affected families and persons. Recommended the transfer of the Police commander of Ejura and the removal of the MCE of the area.
