Former President John Mahama urged the ruling Akufo-Addo government to improve the security situation in the country.
According to him, armed robbers have recently emboldened, urging President Nana Akufo-Addo to ensure the security of all on the national territory.
"We urge the Akufo-Addo administration to be active. The government has a duty to protect the lives of its citizens, "he said.
The former president made the remarks at the funeral ceremony of the president of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Daffiama-Busie-Issa district of the Upper West region, Richard Bayiviala Polibong.
The late Richard Bayiviala Polibong was killed by armed robbers.
The 45-year-old man was killed by the criminals while he was returning home after the funeral.
He was shot in the head by armed men in Sagu, a village in the Wa municipality, around 9:30 pm.
"The way he died was tragic. We would have accepted it had he fallen ill and he had died of course, but it is unacceptable to lose his life in front of such a tragic event, "said the former president.
According to him, the attack on Mr. Polibong was a reflection of the current insecurity in Ghana.
The government has taken steps to ensure the safety of foreign mission representatives in the country, despite recent reports of kidnappings and abductions in some parts of the country.
A delegation led by the Minister of National Security, Albert Kan-Dapaah, met Wednesday with the diplomatic community on security measures.
The meeting followed the successful operation of the state security apparatus to save two Canadian women from their captors in Kumasi earlier Wednesday.
At the same time, the government was invited to rescue three missing Takoradi girls for about six months.
