The Northern Regional Police Command has assumed control of the investigation into the assault of Mohammed Aminu M. Alabira, the Northern Regional correspondent of Citi FM\/Citi TV<\/strong>, by the Member of Parliament for Yendi, Farouk Aliu Mahama.<\/p>\n

Mr. Aliu Mahama and his team unleashed mayhem on Alabira while he was covering the chaos that disrupted the New Patriotic Party\u2019s parliamentary primary in the Yendi constituency.<\/p>\n

Alabira made an official report of the incident at the Yendi Divisional Police Command.<\/p>\n

Mr. Alabira recounted that he was filing a live report at the time and offered the MP an opportunity to present his side of what may have instigated the violence, but instead, he was slapped by the MP.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the MP [Farouk Aliu Mahama] who slapped me, and his people kicked me and took my phone away. I was reporting on the violence that was happening during the counting process, so I asked the MP why that was happening, and he got up and came and slapped me, and his people also started beating me up.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong> on Monday, January 29, 2024, that although he had no physical injuries, the incident caused him sleepless nights.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhysically, there are no physical injuries, just that, for the past two days, I don\u2019t know, maybe if I\u2019m overthinking or something, I couldn\u2019t sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about what the party would do, the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, in an interview on Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Citi FM<\/strong>, said the party was yet to receive a report on the assault.<\/p>\n
