The military has received a heartfelt appeal from Afia Kyeraa, the 45-year-old mother of Sheriff Imoro, the military officer who was allegedly killed at Ashaiman by some people.
She claims that despite some Ghanaians criticizing the alleged military brutality, she supports the action.
“I want the military to continue beating these young men. If they continue like that, they will be forced to fish out those responsible and so even if they will use a month to beat and brutalise them, I will be happy because they have taken away my heart,” she cried in an interview as reported by Asempa FM on Tuesday.
Madam Kyeraa’s remark comes after soldiers stormed Ashaiman in search of information after their colleague was allegedly fatally stabbed by unidentified assailants nearby.
She views the death of his son as a severe blow to the family because he was expected to provide for them financially.

She also sent a strong warning to those making unfounded reports against his late son.
“You people should stop making those ugly noises, would you be happy if he were your son? Allow my son to rest in peace. This is very painful. We cannot take it any longer because the pain is too much for us to bear,” she said amid tears.
After a fellow soldier was killed nearby on March 4th, the soldiers entered the Ashaiman neighborhood.
The soldiers brutalized some residents while occupying Ashaiman’s streets in an effort to find the murderers.
