A circuit court in Bolgatanga has remanded in police custody for two weeks the two suspects arrested in Bawku last week in connection with the shooting incident in the municipality.
Rashid Bukari and Justine Hado will re-appear before the court on November 27, 2009.
The Upper East Regional Crime Officer of the Ghana Police Service, Superintendent Edward Tabiri, who disclosed this to the Daily Graphic, said that would allow the police to continue with their investigations.
He said the two were being held for unlawful possession of ammunition, adding that after investigations had been concluded, appropriate charges would be preferred against them.
Supt Tabiri said a duplicate docket had been forwarded to the Attorney-General’s office for further advice, adding that the pleas of the suspects were not taken.
The suspects were picked up by a joint military and police patrol team after Rashid was alleged to have fired some shots in town, creating panic in the municipality.
Thirty-four rounds of unfired AK 47 ammunition were reportedly retrieved from a jacket said to have been worn by Rashid.
