The Sisala East District Police Command in the Upper West Region has mounted a search for some gun men who shot and killed a local Chief Butcher of Tumu- a town in the Sisala East region. According to the District Police Commander, ASP William Ayensu Asare, Malik was shot and killed in a border town in neighbouring Burkina Faso, Viega at about 5pm on Sunday. ASP Ayensu said intelligence they have gathered so far show the suspects are Burkinabe nationals. �Yesterday around 5:30 am I had a distress call from one Mr. Bawa telling me that one Chief Butcher has been shot dead by armed robbers around Kasampore so I quickly organised some police officers and then we arrived at the scene. It was around Kasampore that they shot the chief butcher.� He reveled that the Police has intensified security in the area since the incident occurred. �Everyday we go there about three times a day and then in the night we go there once.� This incident follows a similar one in the Brong Ahafo region where a journalist with Success FM, King George was shot dead by a group of suspected robbers. King was reported to have met his untimely death when he was attacked on the Mamfe- Sankore road in the region.
