The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken action by suspending its Northern Regional Vice-Chairman, Alhaji Gbewaa, following a heated dispute with Hajia Shamima Yakubu over party finances at the regional secretariat in Accra.

Mustapha Gbande, Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, clarified that the official "has been placed on a three-month suspension."

Speaking to Joy News, he said the case is pending investigations and all other processes that will enable the party to look into the issues properly for a final redress.

In a startling event at the NDC Regional Party Secretariat in Tamale over the weekend, Hajia Shamima Yakubu, the Northern Regional Treasurer of the NDC, reportedly faced a severe physical assault by the first Vice Chairman, Alhaji Gbewaa.

Hajia Shamima Yakubu sustained facial injuries and received medical treatment as a result of the assault.
 
Chairman Gbewaa turned himself in at the Regional Police Headquarters in Tamale on Monday, January 15, 2024, after he was declared wanted.
 
He was granted bail on Tuesday following an overnight detention by the police.

Meanwhile, the NDC, in a statement, condemned the attack on the northern regional party treasurer.
