Inspector General of Police is pleading for more time as police begin investigations into the killing of seven suspected armed robbers in the Manso Nkwanta area.
David Asante-Apeatu says it is too early to give details of police investigations into the killing that has attracted outrage in Zongo communities in the Ashanti region.
The IGP who is in Kumasi for the first time since police shot and killed the men met the Asantehene behind closed doors, Friday.
