Speaking on Atinka TV’s morning show, Ghana Nie with Ekourba Gyasi Simpremu, Mr Ishmael Adams noticed that the justice system delays sometimes, adding that such situations discourage families in times like these.
He, therefore, urged the appropriate authorities to act swiftly on such matters.
“If the IGP has led his men to arrest the man, they will go to court and that is when the State Attorney and others will come in but sometimes they delay in giving justice and at some point, the families forget about the matter. So, we will plead with them to expedite action on the matter,” he said.
He added that, “I am not saying the case should be judged at once when the person is taken to court. But, we made the laws and if as time goes on someone can be remanded for about 7 years in prison custody before his case will be judged, the family might give up.”
Meanwhile, Mr Ishmael Adams said the Abesim murder is a serious matter and therefore should not be politicised.
