Members of Parliament are pushing for a fresh probe into the execution of some 56 West African migrants including 44 Ghanaians in Gambia.
The renewed calls come on the back of confessions by three Gambian soldiers who admitted to participating in the execution of the Ghanaian nationals on the orders of then Gambian President Yahya Jammeh.
MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, reading a statement on the floor of the House to commemorate this year’s International Human Rights Day, urged the house to push for the prosecution of the perpetrators behind the massacre.
