The Office of the Director of Operations at the Presidency, Lord Commey has denied his involvement in the shooting and subsequent death of one Iddrisu Abass during the December 7 voting exercise at the Ablekuma Central collation centre.

Mr Abass allegedly sustained gun injuries at the Ablekuma Central Collation Center on Election Day.

Dr Commey says there is a “mischievous attempt” to blame him for the death of Mr Abass.

A statement from Dr Commey’s office denying his involvement in the death of Mr Abass said:

1.            We wish to state unequivocally that Lord Commey had no knowledge, and or had not ordered or sent anyway to open fire on anyone.

2.            At no time did the Security assigned to him (Lord Commey) open any fire on any civilian.
