The family of Seidu Bukari, the younger brother of Bono East NPP Regional Chairman, Ibrahim Baba Bukari, has rejected the Ghana Police Service’s interim report on his death, describing the incident as an unjustified killing.
Seidu Bukari was shot dead in the early hours of Friday, August 1, 2025, at the residence of the NPP Chairman in James Town, Techiman.
Police confirmed the incident, stating that Seidu was a suspect in a robbery attempt and was shot while trying to scale a wall to escape arrest. They further alleged he was part of a known robbery gang operating in the area.
But in an interview with Adom News, the family’s spokesperson, Alhaji Issah Mahmoud Ali, dismissed the police narrative and demanded a more credible explanation.
“We reject the rumours and alleged police reports suggesting our brother was caught scaling a wall during a robbery attempt. The police must come up with a better story to explain why he was killed,” Alhaji Ali stated.
He insisted Seidu had no history of robbery or criminal activity.
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Techiman, Adjei Mensah, who visited the family to offer his condolences, assured them that the incident would be thoroughly investigated.
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has deployed a special team from the CID Headquarters, the Police Professional Standards Bureau, and the Police Intelligence Directorate to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting.
