The death of a 28-year-old mechanic reportedly killed by police in the Brong Ahafo regional capital, Sunyani, has sparked outrage among residents in the city.
It comes barely a week after two persons were shot and killed by police in Kumasi and Obuasi all in the Ashanti region, under strange circumstances.
A patrol team in the municipality was reported to have stormed the area to arrest alleged narcotic drug users but ended up killing the mechanic.
Mahama Asanga, father of the deceased told Kuuban Abban of SKYY FM in Sunyani that his son, who was then returning home from town, met the police who were firing gunshots and took to his heels.
According to Mr. Asanga, his son was nowhere close to the place where the alleged drug peddlers were when the police shot and killed him. Police have, however, denied the claim.
