The final funeral rite of Victoria Dapaah, aka Maa Adwoa, is currently taking place. Maa Adwoa, a mother-of-one, was shot five times to death by her alleged boyfriend, Inspector Ahmed Twumasi, alias Tycoon, in April at the forecourt of Dufie Towers in Adum, Kumasi. The reasons behind her murder are yet to be established.
Hundreds of mourners comprising family, friends, and sympathizers have thronged the funeral grounds to pay their last respect as she’s laid to rest today. The atmosphere is solemn and sorrowful, with people mourning the untimely death of a young woman.
However, there were shocking scenes as pallbearers marched Maa Adwoa’s coffin to the Adum Police to protest her murder and demand justice from law enforcement. The protest highlights the need for justice and accountability in cases of gender-based violence and femicide.
In conclusion, the funeral rite of Maa Adwoa is a reminder of the devastating impact of gender-based violence and the urgent need for justice and accountability. It’s time for society to take a firm stance against gender-based violence, hold perpetrators accountable, and provide support to survivors and victims’ families.
