Former President Jerry John Rawlings has offered an additional amount of GH¢25,000 to earlier offers towards reliable information leading to the arrest of the unknown assailant who killed Marcus Adzahli, Assemblyman for Sogakope.
The former President expressed disgust at the trend of violent attacks in the South Tongu area, describing the killing of the Assemblyman as a politically related murder.
Mr. Rawlings urged the residents to exercise their right to anger and protest, but not to express their anger in the wrong direction or through the wrong action.
Earlier, the Regional Minister and the assembly had earlier offered 10,000 cedis each for the same purpose.
The attackers of the Assemblyman refused to accept an offer of GH¢30,000 from the victim’s wife in a plea to save his life, insisting money was not the reason for the attack.
They subsequently snatched the money only after they had shot, stabbed and killed Adzahli.
