Sahada Hudu, the wife of murdered social media activist at Ejura in the Ashanti Region, has revealed to the three-member committed probing the shooting incident that her late husband Ibrahim Mohammed aka Kaaka was threatened by some members of the governing New Patriotic Party.
Speaking through an interpreter on Monday, July 12, 2021, she confirmed that her husband was a registered member of the elephant family.
The widow said the husband was a committed and dedicated member who participated in all party activities.
She told the committee that the late husband was someone who used social media especially Facebook in criticizing the government over issues he felt have not been addressed.
According to her, the social media activities caught the attention of some party people who warned him to stop or they would deal with him.
The late husband she noted told those who threatened him he was unwilling to stop because his social media activities were not something bad.
The threats she further revealed did not stop until the late husband went to a party event where a young man walked to him and asked why he had not stopped doing what he was asked to.
Her late husband she stated asked the person how he got to know about his social media activities because he (the young person) was not using a smartphone.
The confrontation she added nearly turned into a fight and after the husband came home, he told me about the situation and I asked him never to go to that base again.
He promised never to go there again, adding that, this is all I know about his death, she told the committee through her interpreter.
Before her submission, the committee asked her to rescind her decision if she was unwilling to testify because they did not want to compel her.
This came after the family had said they were compelled to testify.
It was also reported by some media houses that the testimony would have been held in-camera.
The widow before her submission said she was not ready to have an in-camera proceeding but public.
