HOW IT STARTED.

Albert Donkor, popularly known as Balusu was a bulky young black man and a native of Nkoranza, Bono East Region. He was a businessman who used to sell footwear and shoes in front of the MTN Office in Nkoranza, opposite the Ghana Commercial Bank on the Nkoranza – Ejura Road and was a resident of Kasadjan, a suburb of the Nkoranza township.

Now in last month being April, Albert is said to have been traveling from Dromankese to Nkoranza when he bumped into an armed robbery scene and was able to spot a policeman who he knew to be part of the said robbery of which his laptop was seized by these robbers. Now after making his way out of this robbery, Balusu returned to Nkz and on the 24th of April, he’s reportedly to have told his friends at RoofTop, a nightclub in Nkoranza, off the Ejura Road that, he was highly astonished at what he saw at the robbery scene and that, some policemen have a hand in the recent robberies that have been going on in Nkoranza and its environs. This was followed up by a whistleblower who is said to have given a hint to the policemen who were involved in the aforementioned robbery.

Now after this incident, Albert Akwasi Donkor was then picked up by some policemen at midnight as at 1-2:00am on the April 25, 2022 in his house of which his mother was told to come to the police station in the morning as he was been sent on the suspicion of robbery. Per our report, Albert was sent to somewhere the Nkoranza – Kintampo road where he was shot afterwards but when his mom visited the police station in the next morning, she was told her son had been sent to Techiman for further investigations but after she paid a visit to the Techiman Police Headquarters, she was told nobody called Albert Donkor has been brought to them from Nkoranza. The mother was tossed up and down for three weeks. In those times, the report we’re gathering is that, Albert’s corpse was sent to the Techiman morgue but it was declined since there was no family member among those who sent the body there and was therefore sent to Kintampo where our report suggests it is right now in a coded location.

HOW DID THE JUSTICE FOR ALBERT DONKOR MOVEMENT CAME ABOUT?

Well so fast forward, on last Thursday being May 12, there were various rumours going about in Nkoranza that, Albert has been killed by the Nkoranza South Police and that, he’s no more in their custody as people thought it was.
