We are yet to receive justice for my brother's death - Perpetual Didier

Gospel artiste Perpetual Didier has said she is still seeking justice for her brother a year after his sudden passing in 2023 after an altercation with two police officers.

As reported by graphic.com.gh, Perpetual Didier disclosed that despite her efforts and presenting evidence at court hearings, which contradicted the police's account, the family is yet to receive justice for their loss due to limited resources.

“I fought for justice for my brother but the authorities did not give me enough support. I was summoned to the Parliament House, where I met with the Parliamentary Committee. The police presented their evidence, but it was vague and unconvincing since my family's evidence conflicted with the police report.

“But as I speak now, we lack the resources to continue the fight for justice because all I want is justice for my brother's death,” she recounted.

Background

In January 2023, Shadrach Arloo, brother to Perpetual Didier, was the victim of a fatal incident at West Hills Mall.

Shadrach, who was 32 years old and about to travel to Germany, died after an altercation with police officers who wanted to search his luggage.

He refused the search at the mall, suggesting they go to a police station instead, fearing they might plant incriminating evidence in his bag. The confrontation escalated, leading to Shadrach being tasered and allegedly beaten by the officers, which resulted in his death.
