The family of the late Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu is demanding the immediate arrest and interrogation of the widow of the Member of Parliament (MP).
A brother of the late MP who was stabbed to death in his home at the Accra suburb of Shiashie said they are demanding the immediate arrest of Mrs Ivy Danquah-Adu whom they believe can offer more leads that would help unravel the mystery surrounding the death of the businessman and MP.
“I am emphasizing that the wife (Ivy Danquah-Adu) should be arrested immediately…she would tell the actual truth behind the murder, the family knows that she knows something about the death…,” he said on Adom FM’s Midday News on Wednesday, 10th May, 2017.
The Abuakwa North legislator was stabbed to death on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at his Shiashie residence in Accra.Two days after his murder, then Accra Regional Police Command, led by COP Dr George A. Dampare, led an operation to arrest a suspect who allegedly confessed to committing the crime.
The prime suspect, Daniel Asiedu and another is currently facing trial before an Accra Magistrate court in the case that has been ongoing for over 9 months.
An Accra High Court has set 16th May, 2017 for selection of jurors for the trial of Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bossu, the two accused of murdering the Abuakwa North MP.
The suspects have denied murdering the late legislator.
But the family insist that the wife must be arrested because she has information to offer the police which would lead to the speedy trial of the case. The family, Kwasi Frimpong said could not fathom why the wife who slept in the same house with the late met would claim that she does not know ‘anything about the murder’.
“She lived with the late wife in the same house…is the wife claiming that she didn’t hear JB screaming for help when he was attacked and stabbed to death?,” he said.
This and many more questions including the failure of the wife to attend the funeral of the late MP in his hometown, Akyem Tafo to mourn the late husband has led to a decision by the family not to allow her to perform the traditional rites which would lead to the family regarding as a widow of the late MP.
“We didn’t allow the wife to perform the traditional widowhood rites because she never came here, Akyem Tafo, to mourn the late husband when he was laid in state. Therefore we don’t see the logic behind she coming to the one year celebration to demand that she be allowed to perform the traditional rites that would make her a widow,” he said.
The ban, he stated has nothing to do with a possible fight over properties of the late MP as the wife and children are entitled to them.
The police service, he said must also reconsider the invitation of former Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, ASP Dampare back into the case since he arrested the suspects.
Akyem Tafo chief, Barima Ofori Acheampong is also collecting signatures to register the grief in the town over the murder of the prominent indigene of the town.

i remember npp women were invoking curses on ndc. back to sender in JESUS name.
oooooooo so now is not NDC, GOD have mercy. may you continue to set confusion among this wicked people.
I perfectly support ur coment cos is bn a year now since the man died and the family never said that but i think all properties is in the name of the widow nad her kids and that is why they are trying to blackmail the woman for nothing......ileeteracy at its peak
It is not easy oo. Women are always at the receiving end in our part of the world upon the death of their husbans.How come the family members who were not in the house that faithful day can suspect the wife? Or they planned the killing with the wife and she is no longer giving in to their requests?
Black mentality! African Mentality! Village mentality! Backward mentality! And you have villagers who can type english supporting this backward thinking because they think they are thinking.

This cannot be right ; I smell a 'RAT'; was the wife in the house the night this guy was murdered and why did nobody go to his aid including the security guard besides it is rather strage that a husband dies and for some reason the widow does not hear anything or go to his funeral ;were they estranged and even that why did she not come out to help the estranged husband ; to me this has nothing to do with claiming any properties because these days most people write wills in the name of their wives and children ; for the lady needs to be questioned again by the police .
u have the chief of akyem tafo wrong!!
They are right, the police need to invite her. It's strange that a man was stabbed in his home and his wife who lives with him in the same house heard nothing. No conclusions must be drawn yet but at least invite her and interrogate her. You may never know.
What kind of property. you live in the same house and you didnt hear your husband crying for help. she has remarried . hmmmmm
As for blacks......i rest my case !!!!
