Chairman of the Northern Regional Security Council Alhassan Shani Shayibu has given the strongest indication that the security apparatus will not relent on their efforts to arrest Zagyuri Zaachi, the man believed to be one of the leaders of the Saturday riots that led to the destruction at the VRA main office in Tamale and the Lamashegu Police Divisional command.
“I’m saying that we’ll arrest all those people perpetrating this, and I’m not going to stand down in arresting this guy when I get him. I will arrest him and all his accomplices, because there should be law and order in Tamale” he stressed.
According to the Minster, Zagyuri Zaachi had kidnapped an innocent citizen who he (Zagyuri Zaachi) believed to be a Police informant and threatened to kill the alleged informant if the Police had made any move to arrest him.
The Northern regional Minister, who called into the Diamond Power drive on Wednesday September 29, narrated that, “he (Zagyuri Zaachi) had sent information to the Police that they (Police) will come and pick the dead body of the alleged informant today (September 29th, 2021) because he’s informing the Police to come after him, and that is what prompted the Police to move in and arrest his (Zagyuri Zaachi) wife and brother otherwise what business does the Police have to go and pick his brother and wife. The Police had not even spoken with anybody”.
The Minister disclosed that, the brother and wife of Zagyuri Zaachi who were arrested by the Police have since been sent back to the Zagyuri chief’s palace after the Zaachi had brought the alleged informant to the palace.
Hon Alhassan Shani Shayibu also indicated that “we all know that kidnapping is a criminal offense and that alone is enough for the Police to look for Zaachi, because we know what kidnappers can do and now, he is on the loose and inciting people to mass up at the Dakpema Palace if anyone is arrested”.
“Why will one person keep terrorizing the whole metropolis, because he was the same person who sent out this video and sparked the whole thing we’re discussing now”, the Minster quizzed.
The Northern regional Minister also questioned “what is his motive and what is he doing all these things for ?”
“Now the NEDCo people are not ready to work, and if there is a power outage anywhere, they won’t respond. The NEDCo people spoke to me that their workers are not ready to work because they fear to go out and people will come after them and it’s a big problem now” the Minter lamented.
