Wa West MP calls for calm, impartial probe into suspect’s death
Member of Parliament (MP) for Wa West, Peter Lanchene Toobu The Member of Parliament (MP) for Wa West, Peter Lanchene Toobu, has called for calm and urged the Ghana Police Service to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the death of Abu Tijani, popularly known as “Master One”, who reportedly died while in police custody.
A statement issued by the Upper West Regional Police Command on Tuesday said the suspect had been on its wanted list after allegedly evading arrest on May 11, 2026, and going into hiding despite appeals through the Paramount Chief of Wechiau and community elders for him to assist investigations.
He explained that although security agencies restored calm and a mediation process led by the Upper West Regional Minister and Chairman of the Regional Security Council (REGSEC), Charles Lwanga Puozuing, had made progress, the process suffered a setback after two young men from Bakpateng near Lassia Tuolu were murdered in Kendeu on November 23, 2025.
