The Upper Denkyira West District Assembly wants President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo to visit the area in the midst of efforts to unravel the cause of the lynching of Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama.
The Assembly led by its Presiding Member, George Kakari, said it fully accepts a recent decision by the president to suspend the District Chief Executive, Daniel Appianin, following his remarks on the cause of death of the army captain.
Addressing journalists at Diaso, the District’s capital, Mr Kakari summed up the pain the entire Denkyira including the assembly members is going through due to the gruesome murder.
He said they were in support of activities of the military officers in the area contrary to reports that they were against it.
“We accept all what the soldiers were doing,” he said, but called for “independent investigators” to conduct thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to the mob action, especially into the comments by suspended DCE.
The fatal mob action is said to have been led by an assembly member of Upper Denkyira West District, William Baah, who is currently in police custody.
There has been a quasi-lockdown of the town since the heinous act was committed.
The chiefs of Denkyira have scheduled a pacification of gods on Sunday to forestall the wrath of the ancestral spirits.
