The Ghana Police Service, in a statement, reaffirmed its dedication to ensuring that all individuals involved in the crime are held accountable, stating that justice will be pursued without compromise.
The tragic killing stemmed from a conflict that began on the night of February 25, when Mustapha Muktadel, the brother of the deceased, was allegedly attacked by Baba Habib and his associates following a dispute. The altercation escalated and culminated in the fatal shooting of Yakubu Mohammed Habib the following day.
Community members say tensions in the area have been high since the incident, but they commend the police for taking decisive steps in arresting the suspects.
Investigations are ongoing as the police continue to build a case to ensure a full prosecution of all involved.
