Whether the murderers of the late Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, JB Danquah-Adu belong to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) or the National Democratic Congress (NDC), justice must be served, Spokesperson for the late MP’s family, George Amoah, has said.
Mr Daniel Asiedu, also known as ‘Sexy Dondon’, the prime suspect standing trial for the murder of the late lawmaker, had told the court on Wednesday, 21 June that he was contracted by people within the governing NPP to kill the politician, who was a member of the same party.
The suspect told the District Court presided over by Her Worship Arit Nsemoh that his "contractors" told him to indict certain persons in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) instead of the NPP in the event of his arrest.
The late J.B Danquah-Adu was murdered at his Shiashie residence on 9 February 2016. The hitman gained access to the MP’s bedroom by climbing a ladder.
Speaking on Accra FM Thursday, 21 June, Mr Amoah said: “This Daniel Asiedu boy has always been shifting the goal post since this case started. First, he said he only went to rob the MP and not to kill him, now he is saying he was contracted to kill the MP.
“For us as a family, we want justice to be served. Whether the killers belong to the NPP or the NDC or YPY or VWP or SMS or YVA, all we want is the truth.”
He added: “We thank President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for ensuring that this case continues for justice to be done.”

I think capital punishment could solve these kinds of problems. Even the Bible says "those who go with the sword, lye by it". People must fear to commit murder knowing that whether NPP or NDC they are going to face the music otherwise we are doomed. For admitting that he killed JB, he must die. Later the investigators can find other accomplices. For pouring acid on Arhmed Adams, Afoko must die, later accomplices can be found. It is only then that the precedence could be set to deter people from accepting money to take the lives of others. As it is now, these murderers are being pampered too much and the youth will not be deterred from following their foot steps. sellah
This is what you should call for and not point accusing figures at somebody because of property.
