The forum afforded the residents an opportunity to get to know the workings of the district assembly, where it also outlined its planned programmes and activities intended to be executed across the district.

Participants asked questions about the workings of the district assembly and how developmental projects are distributed  to the various communities.

In his speech, the District Chief Executive for Nanumba South, Natogmah Munkaila, said the district is working to extend development to the various communities.

He said the grassroots need to get involved in initiating the projects so they can own them.

He urged citizens to pay taxes whilst assuring that his administration will focus on improving the local revenue mobilization in order to be able to meet the rising cost of waste management and other services.

He mentioned some of the programs the New Patriotic Party administration will be rolling out within the first four years which will benefit the people, and urged them to take advantage of them.

He mentioned the planting for food and jobs, one village, one dam, and the free senior high school as some of the programmes, and also noted government’s plan to expand the livelihood empowerment against poverty (LEAP) project, to cover more communities.

Under the planting for food and jobs, it was revealed that three dams will be constructed in three villages in the district in 2018.

The remains of the victim was found under a tree near a community called Lungni.

In a Citi News interview, the Police Commander for the area, ASP Paul Aboagye, said the suspects have been transferred to Yendi for further interrogation.

He explained that they had information that “someone had been killed in a town called Lungni so we went there.”

ASP Aboagye said upon reaching the town, they were told another person was complaining about his son who had gone missing for close to three weeks in a neighbouring town.

“So that very day we were able to discover the remains of the man who was allegedly killed under a certain three near Lungni. When we got there, through the dress he was wearing the man who was complaining about his missing son said that could be his son.”

“So we did all the necessary things we had to do and later some people from the community accused some persons of doing that. The police arrested six of them and sent them to Yendi,” he added.

The Police Commander however rejected claims that some part of the deceased had been removed for ritual purposes saying “every part was intact.”
