The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has attributed the killing of two students of the Nalerigu Senior High School to the government’s failure to release funds to security agencies for intelligence gathering.
While the exact circumstances surrounding the attack remain unclear, local sources have suggested a possible link to the ongoing Bawku tribal conflict. However, this connection has not yet been confirmed by security authorities.
Debating the 2025 mid-year budget review on Monday, July 28, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah attributed the government’s fiscal failure as the cause of the occurrence.
The Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, in response, criticised the Akufo-Addo government for failing to detect the killing of Investigative Journalist, Ahmed Suale, despite the resources that were at its disposal.
