Family of the late Bimbila Chief, Naa Dasana Abdulai Andani II, is demanding the remains of the deceased for burial in accordance with best customary practices.
According to the late chief�s elderly son, Dasana Salifu Wumbei, who doubled as the family Spokesperson at a news conference in Tamale, Naa Dasana Abdulai Andani was murdered at his palace in Bimbila at about 6:30pm on Thursday, June 19, 2014.
The family called on government to institute an investigation into the murder of the late Bimbila Naa Dasana Abdulai Andani II.
Unknown assailants murdered two other persons of the late chief's retinue, the family reported.
The family accused the police and army commanders in Bimbila of negligence and unconditionally demanded their removal from office.
The family also took a swipe at the District Chief Executive for Bimbila, Alhaji Ibn Abass, for saying that the late chief died as a result of a clash between two feuding factions who have been at loggerheads concerning legitimacy to the Bimbila paramountcy.
The family described the DCE�s alleged comment as inaccurate, baseless, malicious and window dressing just to save his job.
�What happened in Bimbila is an opened secret in Bimbila: DISEC is aware of that because there were enough early warning signals for DISEC to have acted on, but they deliberately refused for reasons best known to them.�
The family narrated the incident that, unknown gunmen dressed in police uniforms and others in military uniforms entered the chief�s palace at a time his subjects were praying.
The family added that the assailants took to their heels with sporadic shooting and headed towards Kpatihi Naa�s house in Bimbila.
