I wanted to be buried by my child, not the other way round – Father of slain soldier

Father of late Trooper Sheriff Imoro has said he is immensely pained by his son’s demise as he expected to be buried by Imoro and not the other way round.

During his son’s burial, Imoro Awudu, said he will not seek vengeance but leaves the unfortunate incident in the hands of God.

“I had also said that I should die first for my children to bury me but now this has happened. I leave everything in the hands of God, God will cater for us,” he said.

The mother Afia Kyeraa, also said she has lost everything following the death of her son

She also told TV3 during the burial that “it is not easy for me, I can’t help, he was all that I got, he was supposed to take care of his siblings but he is gone

“I don’t do any work apart from selling tomatoes so he was my hope. He promised to take care of his siblings.”

Imoro Sherrif’s remains was transported from the 37 Military Hospital mortuary to the Burma Camp cemetery in Accra for burial.

He was laid to rest on Thursday, March 9.

A number of soldiers were at the cemetery to witness the burial of their 21-year-old late colleague.

Imoro Sherrif was gruesomely murdered on Saturday, March 4.

He was found in a pool of blood near the Amania Hotel in Ashaiman and suspected to have been stabbed to death.

The Military High Command on Tuesday sanctioned an intelligence-led operation to fish out the perpetrators of the crime.

In the course of the operation, several civilians reported of brutalities meted out to them.

Soldiers stormed Ashaiman in armoured vehicles

But at the end, 184 persons were picked up and handed over to the Ghana Police Service through the Military Police.
