\t\t\t\tThe National Democratic Congress government is still committed to finding the killers of the late Ya-Na Yakubu Andani II, Propaganda Secretary Richard Quarshiga has said.<\/p>\n

The governing NDC’s electoral campaign promise to find the killers faced a setback following a ruling by an Accra Fast Track High Court on Tuesday which acquitted and discharged 15 persons charged with the murder of the late king.<\/p>\n

The ruling evoked extremely contrasting emotions with the Abudu youth whose 15 kinsmen were freed by the courts took the Yendi streets in wild jubilation.<\/p>\n

Moments later it was the turn of the Andani youth who were least enthused with the court\u2019s ruling and became highly destructive.<\/p>\n

The Regional office of the NDC in Tamale was torched whilst equipment in the constituency office of the NDC were also reduced to ashes.<\/p>\n

The youth burnt tires and blocked roads, chanting, swearing, and demanding justice arguing the ruling was a travesty of justice. One of them died in the process, under controversial circumstances, with the youth accusing the military of being behind the death.<\/p>\n

The youth claims government has reneged on its promise to find the killers of Ya-Na, insisting the Mills-led administration must redeem itself, or the president should not step foot in Tamale.<\/p>\n

The Northern Regional executives of the party have also issued an ultimatum to the government to find the killers in two weeks or they will resign en masse.<\/p>\n

In reaction, the Propaganda Secretary of the NDC Richard Quarshiga told Joy News government is equally disappointed that the killers of Ya-Na Yakubu Andani are walking free but urged the aggrieved Andani youth to be calm.<\/p>\n

He said government fully appreciates the pain and concern of the youth but added the Attorney General will take steps to ensure justice is served.<\/p>\n

He defended the party\u2019s decision to use the Ya-Na\u2019s murder as a campaign issue, saying it is not a \u201clight matter\u201d and deserves serious attention. <\/p>\n

He said the wheels of justice grinds slowly but will certainly get to its destination, charging the youth to remain calm.<\/p>\n
