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.
