Gyibo thus went to see what was happening but as he got  closer to where the cattle were, there was another gunshot and so he  (Gide) followed suit.<br \/>\nHe said as he approached the cattle, he saw  four men brandishing guns and cutlasses so he quickly took to his heels  through the bush to report the case to his elders.<br \/>\nThe matter was reported to the police, who went with Gide to the location of the incident.<br \/>\nWhen  they reached the scene, they saw the headless body of Alhaji Gyibo  lying in a pool of blood, with a gunshot wound on his chest.<br \/>\nGide said two bulls were also killed by the assailants.<br \/>\nLater  in the night, according to Gide, the Agogo police were informed by a  source that the assailants had conveyed the two bulls with a Kia truck.<br \/>\nThe  police, with that piece of information, traced the assailants to Madam  Kwakyewaa\u2019s house in Agogo and found the cow meat in the bathroom.<br \/>\nThe  suspects, Issifu and Hamidu, are on the run while their colleague, Kofi  Sammy, who refused to reveal the other two\u2019s whereabouts, has been  arrested. Three other persons who were also suspected of being involved  have been arrested.<br \/>\nSpeaking to <strong><em>DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>,  Tanko Zakari, a spokesperson for the Fulani community in Agogo, said  even though Gyibo\u2019s head had not been found, they had to bury the  headless body because as Muslims, they could not wait for a day longer  to bury the dead.<br \/>\nAccording to Tanko, this was not the first time  that such butchery had occurred in the area, but what was extraordinary  about this particular murder was the missing head.<br \/>\nHe was of the conviction that the head was meant for a ritual purpose.<br \/>\nHe  appealed to the people of Agogo and its environs to treat the Fulani  cattlemen as human beings because they also contributed their quota in  developing Ghana.<br \/>\nHe said since the Ghanaian youth were not  prepared to be cattle herdsmen, the services of the Fulani men could not  be taken for granted.<br \/>\n<strong><em>From Eric Bawah, Agogo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A THIRTY-year-old Fulani man has been beheaded by assailants, who also killed two of his cattle.
