The 37-year-old man who identified himself as Ibrahim Baba Antaru, made a lot of revelations in an interview with Paul Adom Otchere on the Good Evening Ghana show on Thursday, June 1.
The teacher who claimed to teach in a school in Ejura did not shy away from admitting that he is a sympathizer of the governing New Patriotic Party.

According to Ibrahim Baba Antaru, the deceased’s brother named Idi Mohammed was seen by a female resident who shares the same house with both him and Kaaka, dragging him on the floor after hitting him severally.

He again alleged that Idi Mohammed who lived in Nigeria for close to two decades before returning to Ghana had once threatened to kill his mother, Kaaka and other relatives.
