A SUSPECT who has been on the wanted list for the past one and a half years in connection with the alleged murder of one Gazal Fuseini has been arrested by the Tamale Police.
Awal Abudulai, the suspect, was among seven others who were believed to be behind the murder.
He was said to have, however, escaped arrest in 2003 while his alleged accomplices were arrested, prosecuted, acquitted and discharged by the Tamale High Court.
The Northern Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ofosu-Mensah Gyeabour, who made this known to newsmen in Tamale yesterday, said the suspect would be arraigned soon.
According to Mr Gyeabour, the other suspects were acquitted and discharged by the court for lack of evidence. They were Yakubu Alhassan, Rufai Yakubu, Awal Mustapha, Musah Razak, Iddrisu Musah and Jafaru Abdul-Rahman.
Mr Gyeabour explained that in April 2003, there were some disturbances around the Assemblies of God vicinity in Tamale where the deceased lived.
He said that later led to the attack on the deceased by his assailants, compelling him to lock himself up in his room.
His attackers, however, set the room ablaze, leading to his death.
Mr Gyeabour indicated that the suspect would be charged depending on the evidence on the ground.
