Seidu Hudu Zanzeh, a victim in the Ayawaso West Wuogon clashes has
confessed to having been completely distorted and disorganised by events
that occurred on the said day.
Having been asked by the Commission to narrate series of events as they
happened on the day, he said he got surprised by the crowd he witnessed
on arrival and that started his confusion.
Zanzeh who said he was there to contribute crates of minerals for
distribution to polling agents said he lost his train of thoughts the
moment he saw the uniformed men and the chaos happening in front of the
NDC candidate’s residence.
Asked to identify himself in a video which was played by the Commission,
he said he couldn’t recognise his own mother if she was presented to
him.
Though he admitted to having heard gunshots and being beaten with a
hammer-like object and the back of a gun on the park where the polls
were held, he maintained that “I didn’t recognise anybody. I got
confused even before I got beaten”.
He added that “Once I saw these people, my thoughts became distorted, I became confused”.
Much to the surprise of the committee, he noted that his shock extends
to today’s sitting as has no idea why he was being asked to testify.
“I don’t even know how I ended up here, I’m confused about the whole thing”.
