A member of the NDC’s taskforce in the Ashanti region who’s only name rawgist.com found out as Wasiu was shot dead and another critically injured while regional party executives met national party executives to plan towards Saturday’s primaries.
Police have cordoned off the crime scene and are investigating and have promised to get to the root of the matter within the shortest possible time.
