Three heavily-built men believed to be members of ‘The Hawks’, a vigilante group of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), have been arrested by the police in Kumasi.
Dauda Ibrahim, aka Wayo, 40; Samuel Agyin, aka Rock, 32, and Abdul Ganiyu, alias Petit, 37, are being held in connection with the murder of Abdul Wasihu, 35, a member of the ‘Taskforce,’ a vigilante group of the same NDC, at the party’s Ashanti regional office at Amakom, Kumasi.
They were among 12 persons declared wanted by the Ashanti Regional Police Command for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Wasihu on Monday, February 18, 2019, at the NDC’s regional office in Kumasi.
Apart from Wasihu, a top member of the NDC Taskforce, who was shot multiple times and killed instantly, another Taskforce member, identified as Abdul Rahman, aka West, was also hit by bullets and is said to be receiving treatment at the hospital.
Ashanti Regional Police Spokesperson ASP Godwin Ahianyo told the media at a press briefing yesterday that the trio turned themselves in on Thursday evening after a manhunt.
According to him, the suspects were being taken through investigation processes.
He stated that the police are on the heels of the remaining suspects, Abdul Bari Mohammed, alias Warrior; Midjima; Abu Taliban; Saani Mohammed, aka Commando; Gyafaru alias Element; Fuseini, aka Jah Rule; Demos, Fayiz and Suleiman, aka Akon.
ASP Ahinyo entreated the public to volunteer information that would lead to the arrest of the other suspects.
On February 18, the NDC Ashanti regional office in Kumasi was turned into a war zone, as the two rival vigilante groups engaged in a fierce shootout, resulting in the death of Wasihu.
The Hawks, according to the police, openly shot two members of the NDC Taskforce in Hollywood fashion in the full glare of the public.
Window Escape
At the time of the shooting, NDC national executives, including Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Johnson Asiedu Nketia and Barbara Serwah Asamoah were meeting the Ashanti regional executives to restore peace.
They were holding the meeting to address the numerous problems facing the party in the various constituencies in the region when hell broke loose suddenly.
The national executives reportedly had to flee through windows to save their lives.

NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
Now that JDM is in opposition, I urge all members of the NDC and former ministers to petition the president for the release of these animals like they did to montie three. Why can't we have our peace for once and allow these good for nothing fooools headed by some demon infested politicians seeking their own selfish ends like Yamin to throw the country into chaos. Enough is enough. I urge our courts to keep these evil men behind bars, to determine their case after 2020 elections.
You guys who allow politicians to use you are just ***barred word***. Now that you have been arrested, Yaminn who put you people together and introduced you to violence is free enjoying with his family. When will you ***barred word*** learn not to allow yourselves to be used for evil purposes.
