Sissala West: 7 remanded for locking up DCE’s Office
Seven persons have been remanded into prison
custody by a magistrate court in Wa over their
alleged roles in the locking up of the office of
Mohammed Bakor, the Sissala West DCE.

The seven; Bukari Dramani, Alidu Mumuni, Mahmoud
Forkah, Walika Iddrisu,  Amadu  Sumani Zato,
Sulley Mohammed and Gbemmie Lukman were earlier
served with a summons by the Wa Magistrate court
leading to the remand handed to them.

The facts of the case as presented by the
Prosecutor Chief Inspector D. Y Yeboah said the
seven together with others who are on the run
organized and besieged the office of the DCE and
when they met his absence, they locked it up and
threatened to deal with him if they saw him.

Chief Inspector Yeboah added that it was after
police intervention that the situation was brought
under control and the office of the DCE opened.

They are facing trial over two counts of
conspiracy to commit crime and rioting which are
contrary to the criminal code section 23(1) and
199 of Act 29/60.

Meanwhile, police in Sissala West are still on the
lookout for some others who participated in the
riots which occurred on October 26, 2017.
