Salifu Abdulai, a 33-year-old nurse working with the Walewale Municipal Hospital, has tragically lost his life after a violent attack by a group of ‘Wee Smokers’ in Walewale Moshifong on October 8, 2023.
During a confrontation, the ‘Wee Smokers’ assaulted him with hard objects, resulting in severe head injuries.
After the attack, the deceased who is also known as Expensive was discovered by his co-tenants and rushed to Walewale district hospital around 7 PM.
Due to the seriousness of his condition, he was referred to Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH). Sadly, upon arrival at TTH, he was pronounced dead.
Salifu Abdulai had previously worked at Savelugu Municipal Hospital in the Northern Region before being transferred to Walewale government hospital in 2022.
The Walewale cemetery, close to Moshifong, is reportedly a gathering place for ‘Wee Smokers’ who utilize the nearby forested area to consume marijuana and substances like tramadol.
The exact cause of the altercation leading to Salifu’s death remains unknown.
The municipal police command in Walewale is actively investigating the matter, and one suspect has been arrested in connection with the murder.
