Afia Kyerah
The mother of the 22- year old soldier whose alleged murder triggered military brutalities in Ashaiman, Afia Kyerah has described her son’s death as very painful.
According to her, she is devastated by the death of her son.
She revealed that she had no idea her son was visiting Ashaiman after taking a sick leave from his base in Sunyani in the Bono Region.
The death of Sheriff Imoro sparked serious brutalization of residents of Ashaiman by the military on Tuesday, March 7.
Afia Kyerah told a section of the media that “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.
The 22-year-old soldier with the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) in Sunyani in the Bono Region was reportedly stabbed to death by unknown attackers on Saturday dawn.
The soldier was said to be returning from his girlfriend’s house in Taifa, a suburb of Ashaiman and heading toward his residence at Zongo-Laka in Ashaiman when the unfortunate incident occurred.
Military personnel stormed Ashaiman on Tuesday, March 7, and brutalised anyone they came across following the supposed murder of the military officer.
Many Ghanaians who have expressed their angst over the happenings in Ashaiman, described it as disappointing and sad.
