65-year-old Wisdom Badasu is assisting the Ho District Police investigation into offenses of possession of a firearm without lawful authority, cruelty to animals,s and causing harm.
Yesterday, Wednesday, January 19, 2022, some Fulani herdsmen went grazing with their cattle at Agbakorpe near Ho. While grazing, they heard a gunshot and later detected that one of their cattle had been shot dead.
A search for the assailant by the herdsmen in the bushes proved futile.
The herdsmen decided to look for the attacker and after some time, the suspect emerged with a locally manufactured gun.
The herdsmen confronted the suspect over the killing of the bull. The suspect took offense and in the process bit the thumb of one of the herdsmen.
The herdsmen managed and arrested the suspect who was immediately handed over to the Police.
One locally manufactured gun, two live AA ammunition, and one spent AA ammunition have been retrieved to assist the investigation.
The suspect is in Police custody assisting the investigation and will be put before the court as soon as the investigation is completed.
