According to The Ghana Report, pro-NPP militia group Kandahar Boys have confessed to appropriating 10 forty-foot containers of 400 tricycles belonging to the Northern Development Authority (NDA).
They made the confession to Joy FM’s Northern Regional Correspondent, llliasu Tanko on Tuesday.
The 400 tricycles went missing in October last year triggering shock on social media and a police investigation.
The containers were kept at an NDA yard at a popular spot in Tamale.
Following the development, Northern Regional Minister Salifu Sa-eed was accused of masterminding the disappearance of the tricycles.
However, Mr. Sa-eed vehemently denied the claim in a statement available to the media.
“I wish to state categorically and unequivocally that, I did not direct anyone or group of persons or company to pick any item from the premises of the NDA yard in my name or the Northern Regional Coordinating Council. For the records, I was the same person who ensured the protection of said items upon my appointment until the appointment of the CEO of NDA,” portions of the letter stated.
The Kandahar Boys, however, insisted that they acted on the orders of the top hierarchy of the ruling party.
This follows an alarm by occupants of a facility where the containers have been discovered.
Mohammed Awal Babio Sumana, who runs an NGO on the premises told Joy FM: “I know that 10 containers are seated here but as to how many tricycles I don’t know”.
He explained that his accountant asked one of the individuals who transported the containers to the premises to disclose the content of the container.
That was when it emerged that the reported missing tricycled could be in the 10 containers being kept at the location.
