The family of a 15-year-old girl who was shot and killed during an electoral violence that erupted at the Odododiodio constituency last week has called on the 2 main political parties to assist them with the burial of their daughter.

Speaking to JoyNews’ Ernest Manu, the mother of the deceased, said she is still traumatized about the incident.

According to her, on the day of elections, she had gone to the market to trade after having voted. Upon her return, she was met with the news of her daughter’s death.

“After I had voted I decided to go do business because I’m a single parent with no one to help me. Just when I was returning from the market I heard people screaming my daughter is dead. I couldn’t believe it so I followed up to the hospital and indeed I saw that my daughter was dead,” she explained.

After being shown a picture of the lifeless body of the girl, her grandmother noted that she had sustained several gunshots on her chest.

The family has called on the NPP and NDC to support the burial of ther daughter.

In the run-up to the December polls, the Odododiodio Constituency was identified by the Police as having 50 hotspots susceptible to violence.
