It is unfortunate and I am completely devastated because their crime is that they have lost a loved one and they go about demonstrating and you go and kill them the more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe way and manner the military went about the situation has really exacerbated the situation but I have spoken to a number of opinion leaders, the Muslim Umma and some youth leaders and with my knees on the ground, I am pleading with them that where we have gotten to, we should allow calm to return to the area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source|3<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/news\/\">news<\/a>.com|Ghana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Member of Parliament for the Ejura Sekyedumase Constituency in the Ashanti Region Alhaji Bawa Braimah&nbsp;has condemned the unfortunate murder of three of his constituents including social media activist and a member of the Economic Fighters League, Ibrahim Anyass.
