Child Rights International has voiced dismay at the Northern Region police’s decision to grant bail to Mallam Madaha, a spiritual leader in Kakpayili near Tamale.
This decision by the police comes after the Mallam confessed to murdering eight children and storing their dismembered bodies in his house.
The group’s comment follows police confirmation that they have launched investigations into the deaths of two children in Kakpayili, Tamale.
Parents and residents of Kakpayili remain shocked and outraged after discovering the severely decomposed bodies of the missing children in pieces in Mallam Madaha’s residence.
The bodies, which went missing on June 22, 2024, have been transferred to the Tamale Teaching Hospital morgue for autopsy.
Mallam Madaha, arrested on Sunday, has been released on bail, and his current whereabouts are unknown, despite confessing to six additional killings.
In an interview with Beatrice Adu on the Midday News program on 3FM, Mr. Bright Appiah expressed dissatisfaction with the police’s management of the case, noting that he believed there was room for more effective handling.
