20-year-old Ivan Baidoo allegedly killed by Police officer laid to rest

Ivan Apprey Baidoo, a 20-year-old Level 200 law student, was allegedly killed by a police officer on August 27 while en route to East Legon to play football with his friends. The incident occurred on the Tema Motorway when the officer, General Corporal Robert Koranteng, allegedly pushed Ivan's motorcycle, leading to his death. The family of the deceased, led by his father, Evans Baidoo, is demanding a just judgment for their son despite the fact that Koranteng has been charged with murder.

At Ivan's burial service held at the Charismatic Evangelistic Ministry at North Legon in Accra, tributes were paid to the life, ideals, and achievements of the late student. The Ghana Police has identified and interdicted the officer in question, and the family's spokesperson, Ebenezer Bortey Borketey, of the 2024 year group of Adisadel College, has called for a full-scale investigation into the matter.
