Nine years after the brutal murder of former Abuakwwa North MP, Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu, his wife, Ivy Heward-Mills, is demanding justice.
“In Britain, an MP’s killer was found and jailed in months, but the one who took my husband to asamando has still not been found after 9years”.
Danquah-Adu was stabbed and killed at his Shiashie residence in Accra on February 9, 2016. He was a New Patriotic Party MP between 2005 and 2009 and from 2013 until his passing. The case, which has one Daniel Asiedu as the main suspect, notably suffered numerous delays for varying reasons. The defence of Asiedu started in April 2024 following his arrest in 2016.
In an open letter to Speaker Alban Baghin, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, and all MP’s, she questioned their silence on the case.
“Respectfully, you have been silent,” she puts down, comparing the swift justice served in the 2016 murder of British MP Jo Cox, which was resolved in just five months.
