Founder of the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (SCCA), Red Clay Studio in Tamale, Ibrahim Mahama, has reiterated that DSP Alhaji Jalil and his Black Maria team assaulted he and others on Saturday March 21.
He has therefore threatened to sue the Black Maria team to deter them from inflicting similar pain on other people in other parts of the country.
“I am going to sue them. There is no two ways about that. If they could do this to me, as known as I am, then one can imagine what they can do to ordinary citizens,” he said at a press conference in Tamale on March 23.
Mr Mahama called on the Inspector General of Police to disband the group, emphasizing that their actions are unprofessional.
“They just have to dismember the group because they will go to other places and inflict the same pain on other people,” he stated.
Touching on claims by the Black Maria team that he and his colleagues were attacked by a mob, Mr Mahama asked, “If they prevented mob justice on us, why didn’t they arrest the mob who were attacking us?”
“The leader of Black Maria, Alhaji Jalil, attempted to slap me at the Sakasaka Police Station,”Mr Mahama further alleged.
