Former Ashanti Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress
(NDC), Joseph Yammin is certain he has committed no crime in relation to
the shooting incident that took place at the party’s Regional
Headquarters pledging his commitment to collaborate with the police in
the ongoing investigations, MyNewsGh.com reports
Joseph Yammin who was invited by the Ashanti Regional Police Command on
Tuesday categorically denied his involvement in the murder of Wasiu
Iddrisu either directly or indirectly.
The deceased was shot multiple times on Monday afternoon at the party
regional secretariat following bloody clashes that ensued between two
alleged factions a day earlier which National Executives were in the
region to resolve
Another victim, identified as Abdul Rahman, who was also shot by the
gun-wielding thugs, is nursing serious wounds at the Komfo Anokye
Teaching Hospital (KATH)
An ongoing meeting between some top party executives was consequently
put on hold following the ensuing melee which saw some of them fleeing
the scene for safety with the reverberating gunshots.
Four suspects including one Warrior, Damos, Mejimah and and Abu
Taliban, who are members of the NDC Vigilante Group have been identified
by police and are being pursued.
Speaking to MyNewsGh.com after honouring an invitation by the Ashanti
Regional Police and subjected to over an hour of interrogation with his
home searched, Mr Yammin was optimistic he would be exonerated at the
end of investigations.
He questioned the motive behind some faceless individuals in the party
who want to tarnish his image with claims he is the mastermind when he
knows nothing about the whole incident.
“I wasn’t at the party office when the incident occurred. I heard the
news on my way to the party office and I decided not to go there. So I
don’t know why my name was mentioned” he wondered.
Meanwhile, Police say investigations are ongoing to arrest the suspects.
