The Dabala District Court has remanded Vincent Adjei, a 34-year old suspect in the murder of
Assembly Member for the Sogakope South Electoral Area, Mawutor Adzahli.
According to reports, he is to reappear on May 26, 2020 together with four other accomplices named
Bright Awuya, 33, Frankline Tetteh, 22, Ansong Steven 26, and Amos Agbaklah 25 years who were arrested earlier and remanded.
The Public Relations Officer In charge Of the Criminal Investigation Department,(CID) DSP Juliana
Obeng in a statement said the suspects were all arrested from different locations across the country.
She therefore urged the public to assist the police with information that could help in their continuous investigation into the case.
Mr. Adzahli was killed in his home by unknown assailants who broke into his apartment at dawn of Sunday, March 1, 2020.
The armed assailants allegedly used cement blocks to destroy the assembly member’s burglary-proof
doors before entering his room.
An eye witness said the attackers shot Mr. Adzahli several times, leading to his death.
Furthermore, Mr Adzahli’s wife and child, who also sustained injuries in the attack, were taken to the hospital treated and discharged.
His death however sparked outrage in Sogakope as some irate youth blocked the main road leading to Togo through Aflao and the police cum military had to step in to restore calm.
