Three people are in police custody for attempting to murder a 14-year-old boy.
Following a court judgment in Nalerigu presided over by His Worship Simon Kofi Bediako on 16/05/2022, three people were remanded into police custody and ordered to appear in court on 30/05/2022 in connection with an attempted murder of a 14-year-old boy, Wundowa Ben.
Salifu Ibrahim, 39, a teacher at Nalerigu Senior High School, is one of the suspects.
Inusah Mohammed, 27, and Inusah Wadudu, 18, are both farmers from Nalerigu in the North East Region's East Mamprusi Municipality.
Salifu Ibrahim, the main suspect, accused the victim, Window Ben, of stealing a bicycle while he (the boy) was looking for scraps to sell to his buyers, but because his bicycle did not have a carrier to carry the scraps that he saw in abundance, he resorted to taking a bicycle with a carrier that belonged to a relative of his.
When Salifu Ibrahim saw the boy with the bicycle, he accused him of stealing it and went after him with the help of the other two suspects, who tied the boy's arms and legs with tyre tubes in between two empty plastic barrels and began beating him up.
The suspects were apprehended by police on April 5, 2022, and admitted to beating and hanging him on a wooden structure they built in between the two drums.
According to police investigations, the main suspect, Salifu Ibrahim, brought out a liquid substance in a container believed to be acid and poured it on the victim's tied arms and legs before dumping him in a nearby bush.
Wundowa Ben, the boy, was rushed to the Nalerigu Baptist Medical Centre, where one of his hands and legs were amputated due to the acid's effect on him.
Salifu Ibrahim, the main suspect, has been charged with attempted murder, while the others have been charged with aiding and abetting crime.
The boy is currently fighting for his life at the Baptist Medical Centre in Nalerigu, the capital of the North East Region.
