Unlawful Weapons Possession: Embattled Savelugu MP not witch-hunted – Sulley Sambian

Admin for the New Patriotic Celebration (NPP) in the North-East Area of Ghana Lawyer Sulley Sambian has indicated that will claims of a witch-hunting the particular Member of Parliament(MP) for Savelugu are unfounded. Member of Parliament(MP) for the Savelegu Constituency Alhaji Jacob Iddrisu has been indicted to stand trial in the Tamale High Court pertaining to possession of firearms with out lawful excuse contrary to area 192 of the Criminal Accidents Act. He has been indicted alongside one Naa Prophet Ahmed, who the Chief associated with Duko and charged along with two countsHis statement associated with offense according to information offered to MyNewsGh. com is the ownership of ammunition without legitimate excuse contrary to section 192 (1) of Criminal accidents Act, 1960 (Act 29). It could be remembered that Keep away from 2020 while members from the National Democratic Congress had been in a jubilant mood, there was clearly gunfire that led to the particular death of a 17-year-old female. However , members of the Nationwide Democratic Congress (NDC) within the Northern Region have contended that the government is witch-hunting Hon. Alhaji Jacob Iddrisu to smear him having a criminal offence so as to activate a by-election. But activities on this development, Lawyer Sulley Sambian indicated that there is simply no witch-hunting but rather the law can be taking its due program. He explained that the proven fact that there is an election petition impending does not bar the state through prosecuting the MP in whose office ammunitions were discovered by personnel of the Ghana Police Service during the 2020 election. “You remember there is a shooting incident within Savelegu after the 2020 Dec elections leading to the dying of a young girl. Disappointing as the death was, the particular NDC quickly started quite wild propaganda accusing the particular NPP of the death of the young innocent girl. The authorities acting on a tip-off found out arms hidden in the office from the MP. From the prosecution’s perspective, the MP was in ownership of the room or store in which the AK47 was discovered. Indeed he had earlier decided to come open the store but later declined. Fit: how could he take possession of the key when the room was not for your pet? As a matter of fact, the landlord also mentioned him as the someone to whom the room was leased, ” he said whenever MyNewsGh. com reached your pet on the matter. Adding that will “again the MP’s legitimacy as having been properly chosen is a matter of competition before the high court tamale. Those arguing that the quick criminal prosecution of the MEGAPIXEL amounts to witch-hunting need to equally be looking at the bigger image of the people’s interests as well as the right of the former MEGA-PIXEL to challenge the results such as he’s doing. Mind you, the truth that there is an election petition impending does not bar the state through prosecuting the MP. Both cases are different: one is the criminal offence, the other is really a civil case involving 2 civilians and a state organization, namely the electoral commission”. Source: MyNewsGh. com/ 2021
