indigenes of the vicinity where the shooting took place.
Fear
gripped residents of Tamale as well as visitors who were preparing for
the NPP’s National Delegates Conference after unknown gunmen shot and
injured Nine NPP activists Thursday night. The activists were said to be
having fun in the form of a "night jam" around Tamale West Hospital
area when unidentified gunmen in an unregistered taxi cab opened fired
on them, injuring eight men and one woman in the process.
The
gunmen quickly sped off as soon as they opened fire on the victims.
Efforts to track down the criminals had been futile so far.
The nine are currently receiving medical attention after sustaining series of injuries in the shooting incident.
Contributing to a panel discussion programme on U TV’s “Adekye Nsroma”,
Ametor Quarmyne expressed disgust over the incident saying the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) National Delegates Conference at Tamale was
peaceful until it recorded that unfortunate spectacle.
To him,
the Police should not relent in ensuring that the culprits are found and
further called on them to guarantee the safety of the people.
