The death is reported of Fatawu Sachibu, a staunch member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and until his death, the Eastern Regional representative of the Young Cadres Association (YCA).

The death occurred yesterday Monday October 16, 2016 after he succumbed to a protracted illness he had been battling for quite some time now, according to information available to this reporter, Daniel Kaku.
