Family of late Albert Donkor praises IGP’s visit
The Inspector-General of Police’s visit to Nkoranza has been welcomed by the family of the late Albert Donkor’s family following the demise of their relative.
The family revealed that they had been reassured by the IGP, Dr George Akuffo Dampare that the ongoing probe into the circumstances surrounding the death of Albert Donkor will not be compromised.
Recently, the IGP and some police management board members visited Nkoranza to interact with identifiable groups following the violent clashes between the police and the community’s youth.
Uncle of the late Albert, Reverend Father Mathias Sarkodie, speaking after the meeting with IGP said the family will cooperate with the Police to get justice.
“We were happy to have the IGP and his able men and according to him, he is visiting to find a solution to the problem. They are investigating the matter, and he has entreated the family to cooperate with the police service over the death as the family seeks justice for Albert.”
“He promised the family that he will do whatever he can in his capacity for the family to get justice. So the family has assured of cooperating with the police because we know the IGP won’t fail this litmus test”, he said
The death of Albert Donkor left residents outraged and that resulted in a clash between the youth and the police. He was alleged by the police to have been picked following a robbery incident on the Nkoranza-Kintampo road.
However, the residents believe Albert may have been targeted after chancing on a robbery scene involving some police officers.
Meanwhile, Albert’s family has filed a case at the Accra High Court seeking justice for their relative
They are hopeful that the court’s intervention will allow for thorough investigations into his death.
