The Tamale District Magistrate Court, presided by His Lordship, Mr Amadu Issifu, has remanded into custody four persons, including a civilian employee at the Airborne Force of the Ghana Army, to enable police to continue with investigations into the killing of the policewoman, General Corporal Agatha Nana Nabin, in Tamale.

The civilian employee, Nashiru Mahama Nana, is alleged to have supplied some military accoutrements to the leader of the group responsible for the dastardly act, Issahaku Yakubu Kambona, also remanded but under heavy armed guard at the Tamale Teaching Hospital.

The rest are Anas Kampolla Issahaku and Zuka Abdela, said to be armourer for the group.

Reports The Chronicle gathered from Tamale suggest that after the killing of the policewoman on Tuesday July 30, 2019, intelligence indicated that the civilian employee, a driver/mechanic at the para-battalion, was in league with Kambona, who he reportedly supplied some military kits.

Upon the arrest of the leader, he allegedly admitted to receiving some supplies from the civilian employee.

Based on that information, the police wrote to the military authorities for his release. The Ghana Army Military Police subsequently handed him over to the investigators to assist with the inquisition.

It would be recalled that on that said night of the attack at the police snap checkpoint, on the Kumbungu road, the masked men were dressed in military camouflage over desert boots.

They took away two loaded AK 47 assault rifles, left behind a spent shell fired from a G3 rifle.

When the camp of the criminal elements was raided by a combined force, including the dreaded Counter Terrorism Unit from the Police Headquarters in Accra, a quantity of ammunitions and some arms were retrieved.

The case has since been adjourned to the 22nd of August 2019.
