It has emerged that the wife of the murdered Assemblyman for the Sogakope South electoral area, Marcus Mawutor Adzahli, offered ¢30,000 to the assailants who killed her husband to prevent his death.

Speaking to Captain Smart, host of Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show on Monday, sister of the deceased said the late Assemblyman’s wife offered the said amount to the assailants when they held her husband at gunpoint.

The assailants initially refused to take the money but took it after murdering the businessman, Adomonline.com reports.

“His wife offered them ¢30,000.00 to spare his life, but they said they didn’t need the money because that was not their reason for attacking her husband.

“But after killing her husband, they also forcefully took the GH¢ 30,000.00 from her,” she said.

The late Assemblyman’s sister, who is seven months pregnant, is currently on admission at the hospital after she was stabbed as she tried to stop the assailants from murdering her brother.

Bemoaning the murder of his brother, she questioned the late arrival of the police to the scene as the murder according to her, took close to 1 hour 45 minutes.
