The Kusaug Youth Movement has called for a government-led investigation into the alleged killing of a lecturer by soldiers in Bawku, setting a deadline of ten working days for a response. In a letter addressed to President John Mahama, the group alleged that an unarmed lecturer at Gbewaa College of Education was beaten to death by soldiers from the Joint Task Force (JTF) on September 11, just after the curfew had started, as he returned home from work on his motorcycle.
The statement condemned the act as "state-sanctioned murder, cowardly, unlawful, and inhumane" and accused the soldiers of violating the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491), Articles 13 and 15 of the 1992 Constitution, and abandoning military rules of engagement. The Kusasi Movement demanded an independent inquiry led by CHRAJ and the Military High Command, punishment for the involved soldiers under the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), financial compensation for the family, retraining for JTF personnel in Bawku, and a public apology to the Kusasi community.
