Shock as father is arrested for allegedly murdering son
One Sherif Akudaago, 35, in the early hours of Saturday allegedly murdered his six-year-old son at Garu in the Garu District of the Upper East Region.
The unemployed man reportedly cut the throat of Hanan Akudaago, who was a primary one pupil at the Covenant Academy Primary School at Garu, at around 4 am.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Daniel Yaro, Garu District Police Commander, confirmed the incident calling it disheartening and shocking.
“This is barbaric and inhuman so Akudaago is currently in police custody assisting with investigations”.
Mr Charles Azure, a resident in the area, said the incident was a major shock because Mr Akudaago loved his son dearly, and no one could fathom why he would do a thing like that.
“Mr Akudaago was always seen with his son and caring for him. Even on Friday night, he was seen with the boy buying food for him.”
The mother of the boy and other family members declined to speak to the media.
They were visibly in shock and grief over the tragedy.
Meanwhile, some residents appealed to the police not to hasten to attribute the cause to insanity and thus release the suspect, but thoroughly investigate the matter to rule out any spiritual connections.
They said undermining the rule of law in the investigation would endanger the lives of other citizens.
