According to reports, the suspect, Omar Mohammed Mahmudu has hired gunmen to terrorize them.
Also a businessman, Hassan Zein who is leading the family to seek justice for them young girl has been demonized by the suspect who claimed he [Hassan] is a drug baron.
Lawyer for the family, Justice Abdulai addressing the media in Accra said the suspect and his gunmen are using death threats, character assassination and defamation to rundown businessman and good Samaritan, Hassan Zein, who is leading the fight to seek legal remedy for the family of the victim.
He indicated that the businessman, Hassan Zein, a Ghanaian-born-white succeeded in the arrest of the suspect, Omar Mohammed Mahmudu after the matter was reported to the Madina police in December last year.
According to him, the suspect was released shortly after he was arrested. He later disappeared from the scene after his attempt to get the National Chief Imam, His Eminence Dr Sheik Nuhu Shaributu, to resolve the matter failed.
The lawyer said the suspect, who now lives in Spintex popped up somewhere in October, 2018 with his Yemeni gunmen and dangerous weapons without proper documentation, are allegedly engaging in broad day terror and shooting at the businessman and his family.
He added that the gunmen led by the suspect allegedly visited the offices of the businessman, Hassan Zein who decided to pick the matter up again to stay away.
Lawyer Abdulai stressed that the constant threats and daily shootings at the premises of his companies, character assassination on social media as a dubious businessman has compelled him to lay off over 2000 workers and closed down almost 50 businesses in the country to save the lives of his workers.
He alleged that even though the nefarious activities of Omar Mohammed Mahmud and his cohorts have been reported to the Police, not much appears to be done, as the suspect succeeded in using the names of the President of Ghana, the Vice President, the Malian Ambassador as well as the Minister for Interior to pave way for his unlawful activities.
