He was a very energetic, active, and hardworking young man. Today, because of what happened at Ayawaso West Wuogon, he\u2019s become invalid; he\u2019s unable to do the work he used to do. I want Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr Bawumia to see this young man sitting here and how his life has been destroyed because of the hooliganism that took place in Ayawaso West Wuogon,\u201d he stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1034903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mahama-AWW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The former president added that as of now, there hasn\u2019t been justice for Inshau Yaro since the incident and the government has also failed to oblige to the recommendation by the commission of enquiry, which demanded that Yaro be adequately compensated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe Commission of Enquiry that sat on the Ayawaso West Wuogon case asked that some people should be sanctioned for what they did.

The report also recommended that those who were injured be compensated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cUp until today, no compensation has been paid to him, and that is what I have said: that there are casualties who are still suffering the effects and the scars of Ayawaso West Wuogon.
