Police Arrests Seven People and Retrieves two AK 47 rifles near Salaga

The police have arrested seven people and retrieved two AK 47 rifles at a village near Salaga in the Northern Region. Out of the seven, two are prime suspects. Mahama Salifu Mustao and Issah Suale were spotted at Dzanton Daboase carrying a sack containing the rifles. ASP Ebenezer Tetteh said suspicious residents tried to question them but they refused to speak. He said they were then arrested and taken to the chief’s palace where the sacks were searched and the weapons retrieved. “During the course of interrogation by the chief and the assemblyman of the area, one Iddrisu Ibrahim Wumpuni, who is 60-years-old and a resident of Lamashegu in Tamale came to the palace to plead for the two to be released but he was also arrested,” ASP Tetteh said. He said the police are investigating the issue and the suspects will be sent to court and remanded.
