Police in Tepa in the Ahafo Ano North district of the Ashanti region have arrested Tepa-Danyame New Patriotic Party(NPP) Polling station Chairman for murder.
Kwaku Seidu alias Kukrudu believed to be in his 50s shot his wife over a disputed family land he attempted to sell to settle his debt and provide money for the family upkeep a week ago.

He was, however, saved by the timely intervention of the police from Tepa district command
The suspect is currently under arrest and admitted at the Tepa government hospital for treatment under police surveillance following the assault.
