Two persons died and four others were severely injured after some protesting youth of Ejura Sekyedumase clashed with the Military and Police personnel.
In an interview with Accra-based Kingdom FM, he stated that the officers displayed unprofessionalism in their bid to restore peace in Ejura.
"When you look at this, unarmed civilians [were] demonstrating peacefully and you have an armed Military man or Police officer shooting live bullets at them. It is just unfortunate.

“And I will blame this on the resultant effect of recruiting party foot soldiers into the army. No professionalism," he stressed.
He further added that "Because if you have a professional Military person who has gone through the professional enlistment into the service, you will realise that such a person will not act with this kind of maximum force to deter crowds. That is not taught in their training institutions.
