Police on Friday arrested a woman for looting bowls and buckets from the late Ya Na's palace, which was burnt down following the recent outbreak of fighting between the two gates to the Skin.

Sumarya Mahamadu admitted to the police that she stole the utensils from the late Ya Na's palace and took police to the palace grounds to show them where she stole them.

The woman has been charged with stealing and would appear in court on Friday.

Another person is in the grips of the law helping the police in their investigations into how he came by cattle suspected to belong to the late Ya-Na, at the Tamale Market.

Police sources believe the suspect transported the cattle to Tamale in a bid to sell them.
