Fuseini Mohammed, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) chairman for the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba Constituency of the Savannah Region, has been physically assaulted by one Tingbani Bukari and his brothers from a community called Kunfusi at the Farmers’ Day celebration.
The New Patriotic Party chairman was allegedly chased with cudgels and stones and beaten to a pulp because Bukari was expecting to win the award of a tricycle motorbike.
Ghanaweb reports that the NPP chairman ran into a nearby house for his life. However, the landlord, who attempted to stop the Kunfusi people, was also beaten as they pulled out the NPP chairman to further assault him.

Sawla-Tuna-Kalba sustained injuries as blood was oozing from his ears due to the heavy beating. He was rescued by some people who came to his aid.
Tingbani Bukari and his brothers from Kunfusi said Tingbani should have received the motorbike but that was changed following the instruction of the NPP chairman Fushieni Mohammed.
Hon Sadik Sadak, the assemblyman for Kalba, where the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District Farmer's day celebration took place on 6 November 2020, confirmed the incident in an interview with Bole-based Nkilgi FM.
Sadak said after speeches by the district chief executive (DCE), Lawal Tamimu and others, the presentation of awards went smoothly until a tricycle motor, which was supposed to be handed to Tingbani Bukari from Kunfusi was instead given to the NPP youth organiser for the constituency who is not a known farmer, resulting in the problem.
