On 27 August 2026, a Ghanaian father received the devastating news that his son, Ivan, had been fatally injured in an accident and subsequently died that evening. The father describes the moment as a day he will never forget, describing the shock of seeing Ivan’s lifeless body on a stretcher at the morgue.
He insists the death was not an accident but a brutal murder carried out by a police officer, alleging that the officer’s actions were paid for with taxpayers’ money. The father claims Ivan was a law student with aspirations to become an advocate for the oppressed, and that his untimely death reflects a broader societal disrespect for human rights and equality before the law.
Despite the tragedy, the father notes that the Ghana Police Service has identified and detained the officer alleged to have committed the offence. He vows to work with the police to secure closure and justice for his son.
The father reflects on Ivan’s character, describing him as caring, gentlemanly, and a former student of Adisadel College. He recalls their shared memories, including home‑cooked meals and after‑work calls, and expresses his deep grief and longing for his son’s presence.
He concludes by praying for divine strength to endure the loss and calls for justice, stating that Ivan’s burial will not end his pursuit of accountability for the senseless killing.
