Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency, Gershon Gbediame, said on Adom Fm’s Burning Issues Monday night the DCE was shot at close range while alighting from his vehicle.
The incident occurred around 5:30pm local time (17:30 hrs GMT).
“I was with him [Mr Kenyeso] in his office the whole of today (Monday) but I left around 5:30pm to return home…I heard the news he was shot dead the moment I arrived at my destination…,”
He said he had been visiting some centres in the Nkwanta township with the late DCE.
Gershon Gbediame said he was informed on phone that the DCE was shot at close range while approaching the gate to his house and was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital after being rushed there by his aides.
Asked if the crime might have been committed by armed robbers, the MP said,
“I am not sure because it was like somebody ambushed him and shot him the moment he alighted from his car.”
Mr. Gbediame added that while, in Nkwanta, he did not pick any signal that there was tension in the District which might have led to the shooting to death of the government appointee.
“I couldn’t imagine that someone I was with less than two years ago could be reported dead…."
The police command and the military, he said, were on their way to keep the peace in Nkwanta.
Located in the northern - most part, the Nkwanta South District is one of the 25 Municipalities and Districts in the Volta Region of Ghana.
It was inaugurated on February 28, 2008 with Nkwanta as its capital.
Other reports indicate that Mr Kojo Kenyeso Peter the deceased was yet to take his first salary since his appointment into office as DCE for Nkwanta-South District.
May his soul rest in peace.
