The Northern Regional Security Council (REGSEC) on Sunday supervised the flying of the six suspected persons who have been arrested in connection with the Gushegu clash to Accra.
The action was on the directive of Dr. Kwame Addo Kufuor, the Miniser of the Interior.
The six were arrested soon after the incident by the combined team of police and military for their alleged involvement in the destruction and burning of houses.
The Regional Minister, Alhaji Mustapha Ali ldris, who is the chairman of REGSEC gave the names of the suspects as Abukari Alidu 26, Alhassan Mohammed 30, Mohammed Alidu 25, AliduAbdulai 42, Mohamed lmoro, 41 and SulemanaAlidu,30.
Dr. Addo Kufuor, during an assessment tour of the Gushegu and Tamale ordered the transfer of the suspects to Accra for prosecution.
Whilst in Gushiegu, the Interior Minister pledged that the government would not spare anyone found culpable of breaching the peace.
He said that government had become tired of the frequent disturbances in the north and would ensure that those behind the latest incidents were dealt with.
He appealed to the people to co-operate with the security personnel keeping the peace in the area..
Last week's clash at Kpatinga near Gushiegu between the NDC and NPP during a flag raising ceremony spilled over to the Gusheigu town leading to the loss of three lives and destruction of property worth several million of Ghana Cedis.
