New Developments from Tourism Reporter, Ayamga Bawa Fatawu

In a follow up to an earlier post where a news of suspected poisoning of fish in the Gbele Resource reserve, the following developments have been made :

Two batches of team first comprising the security agencies visited the Gbelle Resource Reserve and assessed the crime scene which is the camp three river where a suspected group of people used poisonous chemicals to contaminated a water body just for the fish inside to die and stay afloat to enable easy catch regardless of the ramifications of the chemical usage to consumers.
A second team comprising the Wildlife Division, Food and Drugs Authority, Fisheries Commission and the media also visited the scene of crime in the reserve, picked samples for lab testing of both water and fish caught.
Fortunately, with the Wildlife division being led by a very proactive person in the name of Dr. Maabier Polycarp and his able deputy Elijah collaborative efforts with the Sissala East Municipal Police command took a swift swoop of a community suspected to be safe refuge for suspects and eventually effected some arrests.
In this exercise, five persons were picked up, three met still processing the suspected poisoned fish ostensibly to hit the market for unsuspecting consumers to pick up.
Unfortunately, there is a big funeral in Doung community where some of these poisoned fish is likely to be consumed by people.
They authorities involved have however, cautioned the public to be wary of this development and take their health as a personal responsibility so far as this health issue is concerned.
Suspects have been detained now and will be interrogated and processed for court later.
Meanwhile, investigation is still ongoing and which will enable them arrest all perpetrators of the heinous crime.
