Kaaka’s Murder Trial: Two suspects granted bail

Source The Ghana Report

Two suspects standing trial for the death of social activist Ibrahim Mohammed, popularly known as Kaaka, have been granted bail by the Kumasi High Court.

The two, Fuseini Alhassan and Ibrahim Issaka, were granted GHC70,000 bail with two sureties each, with one to be justified.

This was after the legal team for the two accused moved from the Asokwa District Court, where the substantive matter is being heard to the Kumasi High Court to apply for bail.

However, the elder brother of Kaaka, Iddi Mohammed, who is also being held for his alleged involvement in his brother’s death, is still in police custody.

All three are expected at the Asokwa District Court on 22 March 2022 for the substantive matter to be heard.

Background

Ibrahim Muhammed, also known as Kaaka, was a resident of Ejura who was believed to have been attacked by a mob. He later died at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) due to injuries.

Witness accounts claim that the deceased was ambushed in front of his house when he was returning home on his motorbike at about 1:30 am on Sunday, 27 June 2021.

Ibrahim Muhammed was rushed to the Ejura Municipal Hospital to receive medical treatment after the attack.

He was later transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he died at midday on Monday, 28 June 2021, the Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), Godwin Ahianyo, told the media at a press briefing.

Providing an account of the incident, the widow of the deceased, Sahada Hudu, said she found him in a pool of blood after the attack.

“I thought my husband was driving away goats from the house at the time. Little did I know that he was being attacked. We saw him in a pool of blood. The people bolted as soon as we opened the door to check what was happening,” she recounted.

Macho Kaaka

Before his death, Ibrahim Muhammed, aged 45, took to social media, where he posted social critiques about the Ejura Municipality and other issues of national importance.

His last activity on Facebook was a post criticising the arrest of 15 members of the #TheFixCountry at the High Court Complex on 25 June.

In the aftermath of his death, scores of angry residents stormed the streets in Ejura to demand justice.

Two shot dead, four hospitalised

Two protestors died while four others were left in critical condition after law enforcement officers shot into a crowd demonstrating over the death of Kaaka.

The other injured persons were taken to the Ejura Government Hospital for treatment.

Court Remands Three Suspected Killers Of Kaaka

Meanwhile, a District Court in Asokwa in the Ashanti Region on 2 July remanded three into police custody in connection with the murder of Kaaka.

Isaka Ibrahim, Fuseini Alhassan and Idi Mohammed were slapped with conspiracy to commit a murder. The court is yet to take their pleas.
