The Ellembelle legislator suggests that the matter should be followed by an independent investigation by the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to ensure truth and justice delivery.
Mr. Buah was therefore briefed about the sad incident at the forecourt of the Magistrate Court in Nkroful.
According to him, one Andrew Donkor of Teleku Bokazo has been reported dead as a result of gunshot wounds whereas David Mohammed and Daniel Kwame have sustained life-threatening wounds and are on admission at the Eikwe Catholic Hospital.
“A sad reminder of the tension that has characterized the relationship between the communities and Adamus Mining Company since this mining company began operations in the area”, he said.
He said it was time for a united approach in engaging Adamus to deal with the root causes of the recurring incidents to ensure peace and justice.
Mr. Buah empathized with the families at this time of grief and called on the affected communities to exercise restraint and calm while investigations are carried out.
