Nawuni Yiko; The June 29th story – Acts & Clauses: Tamale Mayor vrs ANE

Fancy Gadam and Patoranking had planned to stage one of the biggest show in Tamale on 30th June, 2018 but that did not come to life due to the unforeseen accident on the eve of show. On the eve of the show, an accident occurred between a Zylofone van and an articulator track resulting in the death of six and two of the deceased were found out to be Fancy Gadam fans because they were wearing shirts with Fancy image on it.

Without verifying or waiting for the police report on the cause of the accident, the mayor of Tamale, Musah Superior, went on rampage on radio to accuse Fancy Gadam because he believe it  was a float that cause the accident when in actual fact it was not the case.


It was unfortunate coming from someone in authority like his caliber asking a rhetorical question suggesting Fancy Gadam is using his fans blood to make it in music and down playing the hard work this young chap who is using his music to give people the chance to know that, there are talents in the north as well.

This provision does not allow the Honorable Mayor to single handedly decide on the security of the Metropolis.   Article 23 Clause 1 recognizes the need for a Justice and Security Sub-committee of the Executive Committee, Our Honorable Mayor failed to consult them before making hasty comments concerning security.

The Honorable Mayor, Musah Superior has also taken the law into his own hands when he failed to use the appropriate body to control the crowd but rather incited the military against the public resulting in assaults and seizure of motorbikes.
