Sources close to Yamoah Ponkoh revealed the police searched his house and detained him for about 2 hours before being taken to the police station.

The former government appointee had earlier in an interview revealed he saw the man who pulled the trigger.

He explained he came to meet the persons at the precincts of the secretariat at the time he arrived without anything to suggest there was tension insisting he saw the person who fired the shots.

“It was an open place and they were chatting and there was nothing to suggest they were fighting or having any confrontation. I saw the person who pulled the trigger but I have never met him in my life except today. Almost all the faces I met at the place I can say it is just 1% whose faces are familiar. But the guy who fired the shots, I was there when the incident happened”, he revealed.
