According to the Northern regional
Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), DSP Mohammed Yussif Tanko, a
collaboration between the Savannah and Upper East police commands led to the
arrest of suspects Abdul Rauf and Amidu Fuseini suspected to have murdered the
two persons.
The two fled to Sandema in
the Upper East region following police effort to have them arrested to assist
in the murder of Alidu Yakubu, 37, who sustained machete wounds on the head and
Amadu Yakubu, 40, who was shot in the rips.
The Suspects are expected to
be brought to Damongo today as part of investigations.
The clash, which occurred
Thursday night, lasted for about 45 minutes residents say. Kasapa News sources
indicate that Gonjas in the community wanted to construct a mosque but the
Mamprusis resisted their decision.
The resistance by the
Mamprusis resulted in a misunderstanding between the two groups leading to the
killing of the two.
One other person is in
critical condition and currently admitted to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Lukuli and its
environs according to DSP Tanko are quiet following a deployment of police and
military personnel in the community and surrounding areas.
