A pall of unrest hangs over Nkwanta South as disillusioned youth, driven to the edge by frustration and perceived injustice, issue a stark warning to the nation: “We are ready to die.”
In a chilling petition to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), the aggrieved youth allege that state authorities have deliberately stalled the resolution of a critical case they believe holds the key to defusing the rising tensions. Their cry is not just of anger—but of desperation.
According to the group, led by Mr. Peter Ntasah, repeated reports—complete with video and audio evidence—have been submitted to the Ghana Police Service. Yet, they claim, the response has been silence. No arrests. No answers. No action.
> “We have knocked on every door, but justice continues to elude us,” said Mr. Ntasah. “If CHRAJ and national leaders continue to play politics with our pain, this community will descend into something no one can control.”
The youth accuse some local leaders of manipulating the case for personal gain, deliberately obstructing justice to shield those involved. Their voices—once patient—have turned into a storm. For them, the delay has become more than administrative; it is an insult to their dignity—a provocation with deadly consequences.
The case, which CHRAJ is believed to be investigating, has now become a flashpoint. What began as a call for resolution has become a warning shot. The youth insist they are not seeking chaos—but peace born of accountability.
Their demands are simple yet urgent:
Immediate intervention by CHRAJ and National Security.
Transparent and fair adjudication of the stalled case.
A public commitment to resolve underlying grievances fueling the discontent.
Behind their rage lies a yearning: for truth, for dignity, for peace. Yet that peace, they warn, will not come without justice.
As the shadows deepen over Nkwanta South, the question is no longer whether danger is coming—it is whether those in power will act before it arrives.
