The sister of murdered Abuakwa North MP Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu has stated that his brother had no axe to grind with anyone, for which reason any individual or group of persons would want to have him eliminated.
Abena Akyeampomaa, the MP’s sister said she was still in grief and shock following the death of his brother on the dawn of Tuesday February 9, 2016 at his residence at Shiashie, near East Legon.
She told Class News that the MP was affable and was the toast of persons of all age groups in his constituency, with no scores to settle with anyone.
She said she would miss him but prayed that whoever replaces him will be as amiable as he was.
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP died of multiple stab wounds.
Unknown assailants stormed his residence at Shiashie and killed the politician.
Reports say the hitmen gained access to the MP’s bedroom by using a ladder, where, after a brief struggle with the lawmaker, managed to overpower him and inflict the stab wounds on him.
The 51-year-old MP was the grandson of Dr J B Danquah, who was christened the doyen of Ghanaian politics.
He served as deputy Minister for Women and Children’s Affair winning the Abuakwa North seat in the Eastern Region in the December 2012 elections when he defeated the National Democratic Congress’ Victor Smith.
He was a chartered accountant. The Police have opened investigations into the MP’s murder.
The legislator was survived by a wife and two children.
