Four more people also got injured during the attacks. Again, several homes were burnt and properties destroyed.

Sosu speaking on the attack on the minority members in the country said protecting their lives will lead to attitudinal change and tackle stigma and discrimination towards persons belonging to such groups.

"If people do not see fairness and justice occurring then there will be a problem. The Gender Ministry, Attorney General, NCCE, and CHRAJ, should come together and fashion out a campaign to address this problem," he said.
