THE police in Bawku have arrested one person in connection with the shooting of a 53-year-old man at Mishiga near Bawku on Thursday night.
The deceased, Abdulai Awudu Danladi, was allegedly shot at about 8pm while having dinner with his wife, who also sustained gunshot wounds.
Danladi is said to be the New Patriotic Party (NPP) polling station chairman at Mishiga.
The Bawku Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Kwaku Buadu Peprah, could, however, not readily disclose the name of the suspect arrested because he was not immediately in the office and was not up to date with investigations conducted as of the time the Daily Graphic spoke to him on phone.
Danladi’s wife is responding to treatment at the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital.
Chief Supt. Peprah said the police would get to the bottom of the matter and apprehend the culprits who were behind the shooting.
Questions are being raised about how the assailants could carry out their deadly mission amid tight security in place at Bawku and its environs particularly when a 4:00pm-6:00am curfew had been imposed.
