Ashaiman Killing – The mother of the 22- year old military officer whose alleged murder triggered military brutalities in Ashaiman says she is devastated by the death of her son.
Afia Kyerah claims she was unaware that her son, who had taken a sick leave from his base in Sunyani in the Bono Region, was traveling to Ashaiman.
The military severely brutalized Ashaiman residents on March 7 as a result of the passing of Sheriff Imoro.
“Sherrif didn’t have any friends, he was always with me, some neighbours were always teasing me for turning him into a mummy’s boy. I had no idea he was coming to Ashaiman, I had no idea he will die like this, his death is so painful, I’m sad and devastated,” the mother said.
