A member of the opposition New
Patriotic Party in the Asawase Constituency in the Ashanti Region has been
stabbed to death, Friday.
Abubakar Saddiq was part of the
angry Akufo-Addo loyalists who locked up the Asawase Constituency
office, Thursday in protest over comments made by the Chairman of the
Constituency, Isaac Brenya.
The deceased and several other
supporters had threatened to beat up Mr Brenya for supporting suspended
National Chair Paul Afoko and for making comments they thought was derogatory
for Nana Addo.
He was said to have gone to the
constituency office on hearing the office had been ransacked Friday
morning but was attacked and murdered by unknown assailants.
The incident happened few minutes
after midday, Luv FM's Prince Appiah reported.
It is neither clear yet who
masterminded the murder nor whether the murder has any link with the ongoing
chaos within the opposition New Patriotic Party.
The incident happened close to the
Asawase Constituency office, Appiah indicated.
The wife of the deceased Aisha
Inusah told Prince Appiah she last saw her husband last night but spoke to him
this morning saying he was in Asawase.
She was to learn later that her
husband has been murdered. Sources say.
He was left in a pool of
blood, with his face turned down, jeans trousers pulled down to his
knee level, with his multi-colored boxer shorts showing.
Abubakar Saddique, 37, was said to
be a spare parts dealer at Suame Magazine but stayed at Zaabo Zongo, a
suburb of Asawase.
Police have taken the body of the
deceased person to the morgue and have begun investigations into the matter.
