The paper learnt that the police in the region are surprised about the report of the committee.
Some policemen, who pleaded anonymity, said they suspected that what transpired during the Committee’s sittings had been shielded due to some inexplicable reasons.
They admitted that it was established that the seven people were not criminals or wanted by the police, as initially reported by a section of the media.
The aggrieved policemen, however, said it was also established that the seven people had criminal intention of visiting Manso Nkwanta on the day of the shooting.
The policemen expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome of the findings, alleging that some fishy deals had taken place.
They, therefore, challenged the committee to publish its findings so that everybody would see what really transpired during the sittings.
