Parliament summons Interior Minister over shooting incident at Toflokpo

Ambrose Dery, the Interior Minister, has been called by Parliament to brief the house on the shooting incident at Sege in the Greater Accra Region that claimed one life.

One person was killed and numerous others were injured in a shooting incident in Toflokpo that was caused by a conflict between Ada residents and the salt mining company Electrochem Ghana on Monday, November 6.

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 will direct the Minister for the Interior to brief the house about the incident, how the violence came to be perpetrated, and who shot into the crowd, whether it was the police, the security, or the private company.”

“After that briefing, if the Committee of Defence and Interior needs to investigate further, we will provide the appropriate direction,” he stated.
