Nana Oye Lithur in a series of tweet condemned the act saying "I condemn the acts of these men and their debasing of womanhood. Their action is an affront to our values and culture and should be condemned."

She said rigorous advocacy could help curb the increasing spate of mob justice in the country.

Nana Oye Lithur said the police have a lot to do to dissuade the general public from taking the law into their own hands and lynching suspects but stressed the need for more to be done.

She however, urged the traditional authority in the Ashanti region led by the Asanteman Council, and the religious bodies to address this issue.
