But General Mosquito as he is affectionately called wondered why Collins Dauda has been accused when those behind the unending situation at Sankore are known NPP members.
“This unending issue at Sankore is getting out of hand. How can you accuse a whole MP of being behind the recent attacks at Sankore when those causing the trouble are known NPP thugs? They should rather arrest them and allow the MP to be free because he is not aware of anything” he defended.
