In a recent tragic incident in Millennium City, Ghana, a military officer in his late 30s was fatally shot during a land dispute, while two other officers narrowly escaped death. The incident took place near the Millennium City District Police Command at Kasoa in the Central region of Ghana.
The Ministry of National Security has clarified that the suspect, Benlord Ababio, who is currently in police custody, is not a staff of the Ministry. In a statement, the Ministry emphasized that any speculation linking the suspect to the Ministry is unfounded and urged the public to disregard such claims.
Furthermore, the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has condemned the killing of Lance Corporal Omar Abdullah Rahman over an alleged disputed half plot of land at Millennium City, Kasoa. In a press release, the GAF expressed its commitment to maintaining law and order in communities and urged citizens to seek peaceful and lawful means to resolve land disputes, while refraining from engaging in acts of violence to prevent such tragic incidents.
This unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of peaceful conflict resolution and the avoidance of violence in land disputes. The Ministry of National Security and the Ghana Armed Forces are working diligently to address the situation and ensure that justice is served.
It is crucial for all stakeholders, including the government, law enforcement agencies, and the community at large, to collaborate in promoting peaceful conflict resolution and upholding the rule of law. Our thoughts are with the family and colleagues of Lance Corporal Omar Abdullah Rahman during this difficult time.
As we mourn the loss of a dedicated soldier, let us recommit ourselves to fostering a society where disputes are settled through peaceful and lawful means, and where such senseless acts of violence have no place.
