Former President John Mahama has joined the widespread calls for justice for a 90-year-old woman who was gruesomely murdered at Kafaba, Savannah Region.
The deceased, Akua Denteh, was lynched by some community folk after a priestess reportedly accused her of witchcraft.
Decrying the attack, Mr. Mahama said “our society and institutions failed the poor 90-year-old woman.”
“Where were our Assembly Members, Unit Committees, the Police and BNI when it mattered most,” the NDC Presidential nominee quizzed, adding “it was sad to see a crowd standing by and watching the gruesome spectacle.”
He added: “Very sad reflection on us as a people in the 21st century. Just by luck, someone captured the sorry sight on a smartphone. How many more Dente Akua’s have died pitiful unrecorded deaths?”
