Editor Must Go To Prison -Residents

We, the residents of the new Oduman Residents Association at Ablekuma in Accra are calling for the Inspector General of Police Mr Paul Tawiah Quaye not to obstruct the course of justice in a rape case involving Mr Andy Kankam ,a member of the Natonal Democratic Congress and a newspaper editor of one of Ghana’s vibrant private newspapers, the Informer, and Sefakor Ayiku a 16 year old young girl who has accused Mr Kankam of rape, molestation and threats on her life.

Miss Sefakor Ayiku has accused Mr Kankam of raping and molesting her near a guest house near the goil filling station at Anyaa and driving off after leaving 150 Ghana cedis for her to get a taxi home. The case is currently at Tesano Police station.



We have been forced to write in the public domain due to the strange actions of the IGP and other police officers at the Tesano police station which has given room to mistrust and suspicion that they are assisting Mr Kankam to go free.

The Oduman residents association are calling on the Inspector General of Police and his officers to rather arrest Mr Andy Kankam and find it unbelievable that he is walking free without a care in the world while the family of this defiled girl suffer in disgrace and silence.



The residents association believe that the welfare and rights of

Sefakor Ayiku, whose life has been destroyed by Mr Kankam, Mr Lumor Ayiku and Madam Janet Afari as citizens of Ghana are important. When will the police do the right thing and investigate crimes and prosecute criminals pretending to be gentlemen?



On behalf of the family we make further pleas to all Ghanaians to help us get justice for this family and especially young Sefakor Ayiku whose purity and virginity has been destroyed by Mr Kankam. The law must be no respector of persons especially for lawless individuals like Andy Kankam who think that by virtue of their positions they are above the law.



We are watching and praying



Mr Lumor Ayiku

Madam Janet Afari
