One of the front liners of the #fixthecountry campaign, Kaaka Anyass Ibrahim, popularly known as Macho Kaka, was reported dead after he was attacked by a mob on June 25 in Ejura in the Ashanti Region. His death comes as a shock to many who knew him in person.
He reportedly died this afternoon at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
Meanwhile, fellow campaigner and political activist, Kwame A-Plus has dropped some shocking details of events that occurred prior to his demise.
According to A-Plus in a Facebook post, Ibrahim received death threats for his role in hammering into the ears of people in authority to make things work in the country. He further alleged that Kaaka received life threatening voice messages.
He said; “In fact, there are voice recordings on which some persons known to be bodyguards to the Municipal Chief Executive of Ejura Sekyeredumase, could be heard saying that activities of Kaaka on Facebook were making the governing New Patriotic Party unpopular in the area and that every means possible must be used to stop him”.

Press Statement on the Murder of Ibrahim Kaaka Mohammed
We have just received depressing news of the death of our colleague and friend Ibrahim “Kaaka” Mohammed, a #FixTheCountry activist and member of the Economic Fighters League who was attacked by a mob for his #FixTheCountry related activism.
As you will recall, we earlier reported that Kaaka was attacked on the same Friday the Ghana Police Service arrested other #FixTheCountry Convenors.
As Tv3/3FM has reported, Kaaka received voice messages of threats being made on his life. In fact, there are voice recordings on which some persons known to be bodyguards to the Municipal Chief Executive of Ejura Sekyeredumase, could be heard saying that activities of Kaaka on Facebook were making the governing New Patriotic Party unpopular in the area and that every means possible must be used to stop him.
In fact, less than two weeks ago, various individuals had gone to report Kaaka to the Ejura Police in order to get him to stop stop his work. Instead of cautioning those individuals to refrain from intimidating and threatening Kaaka in the exercise of his Constitutional rights as a citizen, the Police rather issued Kaaka with a warning letter.
Following Kaaka’s torture, we lodged a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service. They have taken no steps to interdict or even invite any body for questioning over the murderous attack.
This is murder of an innocent citizen! Kaaka’s blood is a formal indictment of us all and our refusal to stand up and challenge a false democracy! If this is truly a democracy, give us justice!
Tomorrow, we shall seek a formal audience with the Inspector General of Police relating to this matter.
May we not rest until Kaaka receives justice.
