The Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of two children in Kakpayili, a suburb of Tamale in the Northern Region.
Police in a statement noted that the two deceased children had been reported missing on 25th June, 2024, adding that their bodies “were found on 30th June, 2024 in an abandoned vehicle in one of the compounds within the Kakpayili community.”
However, the residents of Kakpayili suspect that the children were murdered for ritual purposes, as their decomposed bodies were abandoned in a vehicle behind a mallam’s house.
According to the police, the bodies of the two deceased children have been deposited at the Tamale Teaching Hospital Morgue for preservation and autopsy, while the investigation continues.
Meanwhile, the Assembly Member of the area, Hafiz Andani, has called on the police to leave no stone unturned in ensuring that justice is served for the toddlers.
"We are calling for justice for the boys. We don't want what happened to the Takoradi girls to repeat here.
"We don't care who the person is, whether an opinion leader, political head, or whatever. What we want is justice," he said.
