Charles Owusu has expressed disgust over the murder of a soldier at Kasoa in relation to a land litigation.
The soldier who had accompanied his colleague soldier to a site met his untimely death after a ringleader shot him reportedly meters away from a Police station.
Details of the incident indicate that a soldier who owns the land got a tipoff that some persons were encroaching his site following an embargo that none of the conflicting parties should trespass the land until there is amicable resolution.
The soldier invited his deceased friend and another military officer who joined him to the site but were met with fierce confrontation by one Benlord Ababio who allegedly shot the soldier at Millenum City Kasoa on Tuesday, 30th April 2024, in the evening.
The victim was rushed to the Mother and Child Hospital at Kasoa but was later pronounced dead.
Addressing the incident during Kokrokoo program on Peace FM, Charles Owusu lamented how the soldier was threatened before Police officers who refused to intervene.
He noted that the suspect wielding a gun sent out threats to kill the soldier in full glare of the Police but they failed to arrest him nor do anything to safeguard the deceased.
The former Head of Monitoring Unit at the Forestry Commission accused the Police of being in bed with land guards and other criminals, hence contributing to many crimes that occur in the country.
“Some of these Policemen and women connive with these criminals in this country”, he fumed.

That is true. Especially police men and women at kosoa and it environs. Something should be done about it.
As for some police officers hmmmm. I remember how one Police officer by name STEPHEN.... CAME TO DEMOLISH SOMEONE PROPERTY AT KWASHIKUMA. THE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO PIPS AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT. THEY SAID HE WALKS WITH THE IGP AND OPERATES AT THE JUBILEE HOUSE. ITS VERY SAD. GOD SAVE GHANA.
TRUTH most police men and women connive with criminals because of money to commit crime, if you have never had a police case you will not understand.
Anything touched by the politician in this country is destroyed. Today we have politicized the recruitment of persons into the security services and this is what we get. Others wear the uniform not to defend the law but to bully, extort and enrich themselves. This particular government has emboldened criminal elements within the security services to the extent they no longer have conscience. And so-called civil society organizations, chiefs and opinion leaders are silent because they are not directly affected. A society that functions is a society that defends the voiceless and defenseless If uniformed men are gunned down in broad daylight in front of politicians, then what happens to unarmed civilians? The nauseating thing is that politicians intervene in these cases and the culprit walk away free because of their connections with these so-called corrupt politicians. Is Ghana truly a democracy?
