Parliament has summoned the Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery, to provide a briefing to the House on the shooting incident at Sege in the Greater Accra Region, which resulted in the death of one person.
One person was killed and numerous others were injured in a shooting incident in Toflokpo that was caused by a conflict between Ada villagers and the salt mining company Electrochem Ghana.
First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Joseph Osei Owusu said that the Interior Minister must come before the house in the first week of December to brief the house on the situation, following a statement made by the local member of parliament denouncing the occurrence.
“I shall order the Interior Minister to brief the House on the incident, the circumstances surrounding the violence, and who fired into the crowd—the security personnel, the police, or the private company.
“We will provide the appropriate direction if the Committee of Defence and Interior needs to investigate further after that briefing,” he said.
