Family of Ayawaso West Wuogon shooting victim denies reports of Lydia Alhassan donating GH¢5k
The family of Ishau Yaro, a man severely injured during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election attacks, has released a statement refuting reports that newly-elected Member of Parliament, Lydia Alhassan, donated GH¢5,000.
Read the full statement below:
Our attention has been drawn to media reports suggesting that Madam Lydia Alhassan donated GHC5,000 for the upkeep of victims of the January 31, 2019 shooting incident by government sponsored brigands at Ayawaso West Wuogon. While it cannot be gainsaid that Madam Lydia Alhassan and some operatives of the New Patriotic Party indeed visited our son, Ishau Yaro, at the 37 military hospital, we are unware of any donation either from her, her assigns or any official of government either to Ishau himself, any member of our family with him at the hospital or assigns.
For the avoidance of doubt, we have crosschecked with all persons officially assigned to take care of our son at the hospital and, we can authoritatively say, without any scintilla of contradiction, that no donation came to us from the outfit of Madam Lydia Alhassan. Indeed, if there was such donation for the upkeep of Ishau Yaro, it would have gone to the Okaikoi Central Treasurer of the National Democratic Congress who has been the sole receiver of funds from National, regional and constituency executives of the NDC for upkeep of our brother.
Our brother, Ishau Yaro is on the verge of losing one of his legs as a result of deliberate firing of guns by hooded armed thugs of the NPP. This heinous and un-Islamic conduct was perpetuated with the sole aim of aiding Madam Lydia Alhassan to realize her dream of becoming a Member of Parliament. Our brother is in explicably pains, and we will aggravate his condition if we accept donation from the very person who benefitted from the pains unjustifiably inflicted on our brother.
We are indebted to the executives of the NDC for the special interest they have so far shown in Ishau Yaro’s case. They have so far paid the medical expenses of our brother and we are grateful for that. By way of emphasis, we have not received any donation from Madam Lydia Alhassan or the NPP, and we do not intend to accept any donation from her. If indeed she has made any such donation as reported, we humbly urge her to call whoever she gave the money to return it. Our preoccupation is to seek justice for our innocent brother but not to accept donations from persons who orchestrated attacks on him.
Signed
IBRAHIM MUSA
(Spokesperson for Ishau Yaro’s family)

Continue playing ur family's member's life with cheap politics. Politics in this country is disgusting
This interesting, if the young man was from Okai Kwei constituency what did he go to Ayawaso West to do on the day of the elections. Politicians can never be trusted

It looks as if the NPP is becoming more frustrated by the day, that is actually reflecting in their dealing nowadays. In fact, they find fault with anything that has to do with the opposition NDC. Just fancy this, The Hon. Member of Parliament visits a wounded person at the hospital, a picture is taken with an accompanying report that she has visited and donated an amount of Five thousand Ghana cedis with a promise that she will bear all his medical expenses, the family comes out and refute the allegation that any donation has been made and just look at how Eddiekay and pee are responding to it, If it true that any donation was made what prevents you from telling readers exactly who the money was given to and at what time. This does not call for any political insults.
BLOODY WIDOW.
i was feel pity for the young man who was shot and after reading this piece from the family,i feel more pity for him. his family only want to earn political sympathy from his condition. where lies the future of this country with the likes of John Mahama and his NDC seeking to rule this country again. These people are full of bitterness and i bet you this is not good for Ghana at all. Lord have mercy. i declare the heavens reject any bitter person(s) seeking to rule this country in and form Amen.
Eeeiyi Musa, are sure you want the speedy recovery of your brother or want to play politics with his life? Why didn't you express your gratitude to NDC until Madam Alhassan's visit to your brother.Cheap politics.Pure after thought, orchestration, coached etc. but it's a big flop, disaster. All level headed people will know what you seek to achieve.
