Ivy Heward-Mills, the wife of the late MP for Akim Abuakwa North, Joseph Boakye (JB) Danquah-Adu, has narrated the frustrations she has had to go through in the hands of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service who are investigating the gruesome murder of her husband.<\/p>\n
According to her, in her quest to get justice five years after her husband was murdered, some security personnel sought to take advantage of her.<\/p>\n
Even more worrying is the sexual advances made on her by some investigators handling her husband\u2019s case when she was summoned to the Police Headquarters on countless occasions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been summoned to the Police HQ on countless occasions and subjected to what I would casually describe as \u2018the act of scrubbing a fresh wound with Himalayan rock salt\u2019 and topped up with a million and one questions including, to my shock, a very gleeful \u2018so madam do you wear waist beads?\u2019 in a meeting room populated by a men-only CID team who perhaps thought it was their birthright to get familiar with what\u2019s in every woman\u2019s underwear!\u201d Ivy Heward-Mills recounted in an emotional piece marking five years of the murder of her husband.<\/p>\n
She continued: \u201cAnd if you think that\u2019s inappropriate, try that Sunday morning when one of those men; a man at the helm of investigating my husband\u2019s murder, thought it is sensible to muster the sheer unadorned temerity, call me and tell me how beautiful\/sexy he thinks I am and give me reasons why I must marry him; an already married man. Yes, he had the audacity\u2026 and this was the head of a certain significant unit at the CID\u2026 and I\u2019m supposed to trust that they did a great job? May God forgive him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ivy Heward-Mills added that thirty-six months after JB\u2019s murder, Ghana, the country her husband served as an MP, is still playing \u201cLudo\u201d and \u201cOware\u201d or perhaps \u201cchacha\u201d with the matter.<\/p>\n
“Between then and now, I have been harassed and threatened by family, citizens and police alike. I have had jesters amongst his peers call me names and cast aspersions at me; perhaps out of fear of their own dark shadows! I have had de facto spokespersons, aided by media houses, slandering me. I have had his townsfolk attack my family and me,” her post reads further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
