PRESS RELEASE
Wednesday, September 22, 2021
The Widi Clan and family of Widaan Atongi-Mbil of Worikamabo and Bawku, wish to express our gratitude to the Zug-ran, Naaba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II and the Security agencies in Bawku (the Ghana Police Service, Ghana Armed Forces and the National Intelligence Bureau) for the leadership exhibited following the gruesome murder of our beloved son; MOHAMMED SANDOW FUSEINI.
Fuseini’s life was snuffed out on Thursday, July 29, 2021 while working for his daily bread on the streets of Sabongari. He had no hand or involvement whatsoever in the land dispute which is reported to have triggered the shooting by these heartless individuals.
We have become aware that contrary to initial reports that our son was hit by a stray bullet, the sniper did not shoot sporadically into the air but rather aimed at him and shot him in the head, killing him in the most cruel manner one can ever imagine.
Though very hard to deal with, we are guided by the revered Zug-Ran’s advice to allow for due process in our resolve to bring the perpetrators of this dastardly act to book. The family commends the proactiveness of the police in dealing with the situation. We therefore welcome the arrest and trial of the prime suspect in the case. Like many others, we are following the process keenly as we expect nothing but justice for our slayed son.
Human life is irreplaceable and people who kill should not be shielded.
