1. BSYA- Accra have heard with sadness the gruesome murder of Mr. Agbedemnab, a young man from the Baasa Community of the Builsa South District on 20th May, 2020 at around 9pm, in Fumbisi.

2. We wish to express our deepest condolence to the family of the deceased. Never again should Builsa South District witness such an incident!

3. We condemn in no uncertain terms the barbaric act which has soiled our beloved peaceful District with blood.

4. We acknowledge the swift interventions of the District Security Committee (DISEC), the District Police Command, the Chiefs of Fumbisi and Wiesi and their respective sub-chiefs concerned, the Assembly persons of the communities concerned and all other opinion leaders that ensured that calm and peace prevailed in the District. We urge them to continue to work hard to maintain the peace while we call loudly on DISEC chaired by the DCE, Hon. Daniel Gariba and all the authorities concerned to expedite action on bringing the perpetrators of this heinous crime to book. It is said Justice delayed is justice denied.
