The family of the late Shadrach Arloo is adamant that he was killed. He supposedly died at West Hills Mall after being handled roughly by several Ghana Police Service employees.
The authorities, in the family’s opinion, are shielding Shadrach’s killers by fabricating the sequence of events that led to his death.
Shadrach Arloo’s uncle, Tawia Nkrumah Hemans, said that his nephew was attacked by the police because of the money he had in his luggage, which he was using to buy things for his sister who lives overseas, in an interview with CTV that GhanaWeb watched
“Our brother was not the only person who went to the mall… could you believe that after killing the young man, the bag that was supposed to be the evidence because there was something illegal in it was given to his friend who was in his company when the incident transpired. The friend was arrested by the police and when he was released they give an empty bag to him which he brought to us.
“He was shopping at the mall for his sister, who had sent him money from abroad. So, he was in constant communication with his sister describing the things he was buying to her. So one of the policemen stopped him and checked his bag and saw a lot of money in it.
“That was when the attacks started. The police started asking him how he got the money and he kept insisting that it was his. That was when the police started beating him up,”he said in Twi.
