Two men in their 20’s from Damongo, Yussif and Bakari Nafiwu, also known as Agbey, have been apprehended by residents of Tamale for allegedly stealing goats.
In a viral video circulating on social media platforms on Friday, July 4 shows the two suspects tied together against a pillar, undergoing interrogation.
In the video, Yussif confessed to committing the crime, stating that they have been stealing the goats for a chief identified as Kukuo-Naa and an individual named Abdul-Karim.
According to Yussif, their unfortunate apprehension occurred when they attempted to deliver the slaughtered goats, wrapped in polybags, to the chief identified as Kukuo-Naa at the Industrial Area, a suburb of Tamale, where a group of residents broke out, leading to their arrest, while the said chief (Kukuo-Naa) escaped.
When questioned about the frequency of their involvement in such acts, Yussif revealed that this was their second time committing the crime for the chief, with the first incident occurring a month prior. He claimed they acted upon the chief’s request. The suspects were reportedly sent to the Choggu-Naa’s palace to assist in the investigation.
The two suspects are widely known for their alleged involvement in motorcycle theft in both Damongo and Tamale. Nafiwu Agbey is an alumnus of the Damongo College of Agriculture and Allied Sciences, who recently moved to Tamale after completing his studies, whiles Yussif is a resident of Tamale.
The incident has sparked concern among residents of Tamale and Damongo, highlighting the need for increased vigilance and cooperation to prevent and address criminal activities.
The case is currently under investigation, and authorities are working to gather more evidence and determine the extent of the suspects’ involvement in the alleged crimes.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of community policing and collaboration with law enforcement agencies to maintain law and order.
