Mark Ofori <\/strong><\/p>\n

Family members of the Takoradi
\nConstituency treasurer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mark Ofori, who
\nwas gruesomely killed, have said they suspect \u2018contract killing.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sam Ellis, an elder brother of the
\ndeceased, told journalists that the family could not fathom why the assailant
\ndid not take anything apart from a laptop computer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe family believes that the
\nperpetrator of the crime was contracted to kill Mark. We are appealing to the
\ngood people in our metropolis to help the security agencies to arrest the
\nassailant and that is why we have placed a bounty of GH\u00a250,000 on the murderer,\u201d
\nhe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready to hand over cash,
\nnot a cheque, to anyone who will assist in arresting the criminal,\u201d he assured
\nresidents of the metropolis.<\/p>\n

The assailant, who killed the
\ntreasurer, left behind the weapon he used to perpetrate the heinous
\ncrime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Western Regional Police
\nCommander, DCOP Vincent Redeemer Dedjoe, confirmed to journalists that
\npreliminary investigations were showing that Mr. Ofori\u2019s
\nkiller actually left behind the pistol he used.\u00a0 He said as the killer
\ntried to escape, he dropped the gun and a handbag just behind the wall at the
\ncrime scene which is a hilly area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday morning, the whole
\nof Takoradi was thrown into a state of shock when Mr. Ofori was found shot dead
\nat his residence at Fijai in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The assailant reportedly went straight to the victim\u2019s bedroom and shot him in the chest, killing him instantly.<\/p>\n
