The remains of Bashiru Isak, the Ghanaian who was recently killed in South Africa have been brought home, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.
In an update following an earlier press statement issued on July 1, the Ministry said Bashiru Isak, was a law-abiding father of three, who was fatally shot multiple times in Khayelitsha, a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa.
The Ministry stated that this irrefutable fact is contrary to false claims initially made by some South African officials.
With the consent of the bereaved family, the Ghana government, through the High Commission in Pretoria, facilitated the repatriation of Isak's mortal remains, which arrived in Ghana on July 14.
Family members and senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were present at the airport to receive the body, which has been deposited at the 37 Military Hospital.
The Ministry and Isak's family have agreed to conduct an independent autopsy, particularly as the High Commission in Pretoria and the family have been unsuccessful in obtaining an autopsy report from South African authorities.
