Four persons sustained head injuries when they were allegedly pelted with stones by some unidentified persons in a misunderstanding between some New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth groups at Choggu Hill Top Monday night. The victims, Abubakar Abdul-Mumin, Adam Haruna, Abdul-Majeed Dauda and Abdul-Ganiyu Adam have since been treated and discharged from the Tamale Teaching Hospital. No arrest has been made yet. However calm has since returned to the suburb. According to the assemblyman for the area, Mr Adam Mohammed Hardi, the incident occurred between the hours of 8 and 9pm last Monday night, during the clearing of drains in the community. He explained that a contract was awarded by the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly to some NDC youth groups to clear choked drains in the community some weeks ago. Mr Hardi said work began earnestly a couple of days ago and on Sunday when the workers got to a spot where an NPP shed is located, a misunderstanding ensued between the two groups. As a result one of the victims, Abdul-Mumin was hit on the head with a shovel leading to the suspension of work. "The other three victims were also hit with stones on their heads at the same spot at night on Monday when work resumed", he stated. The assemblyman further indicated that at the time of the incident he was outside the community but was informed through a phone call. "When I rushed home, the situation had normalised and I later had to collect medical forms from the police to send the victims to the hospital where they were treated and discharged." When the police was contacted, they confirmed the story. According to the Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ebenezer Tetteh, the victims have indicated their willingness to identify their alleged assailants who will subsequently be arrested to assist in investigations.
