It has emerged that Wasihu Idrisu, the slain National Democratic Congress (NDC) vigilante in Kumasi<\/a>, allegedly had a verbal confrontation with the bodyguard of NDC Member of Parliament (MP) in the Ashanti Region.

The mother of the deceased, who is fondly called Abu by the family and neighbours, threw the bombshell, claiming the purported confrontation happened last Saturday prior to her son\u2019s untimely death on Monday.

During the heated exchange between the bodyguard and Wasihu, the bodyguard reportedly left angrily, serving notice in Hausa that \u2018we shall deal with you.\u2019

The deceased\u2019s mother told Zuria FM, a Hausa-speaking radio station in Kumasi shortly after the murder that the bodyguard whose name she gave as Baba Idi travelled to Wasihu\u2019s house last Saturday.

She alleged that he met Wasihu and another guy engaged in a heated argument and after sometime he intervened and told Wasihu that they would deal with him (Wasihu).

Speaking to Shola of Zuria FM, the mother of Wasihu said, \u201cI will point at Baba Idi as one of those who should be questioned about the murder of Wasihu. He is the bodyguard of the MP because before the murder, he came into the house and met Wasihu in an argument with somebody last Saturday.\u201d

\u201cHe intervened and told Wasihu that he was too loud and that they would deal with him; that was what Baba Idi told us,\u201d she alleged.

The mother explained further that \u201cBaba Idi came to the house in an angry mood. I don\u2019t know him before. He turned to Wasihu immediately and told him not to raise his voice against him to which Wasihu said \u2018I am not raising my voice against you. You asked a question and I am answering you. Calm down and listen to me.\u201d

\u201cBaba Idi again told Wasihu that he was a pain to many people around and that they would deal with him. He said his name was on the lips of many people.\u201d

\u201cI heard Wasihu ask Baba Idi to show him whom he had wronged or insulted?\u201d

According to Wasihu\u2019s mother, Baba Idi immediately removed a handcuff and threatened to handcuff Wasihu.

\u201cBut Wasihu dared him and said that 10 of them cannot handcuff him. He said he had previously faced tougher persons, including Boakye and came out unscathed. Baba Idi then told him, we shall see!\u201d

\u201cAt this stage Baba Idi left our house but as Wasihu tried to follow him I told him not to and let him go away with his troubles.\u201d

The deceased\u2019s biological sister called Mother had earlier told the radio station that Baba Idi should be questioned by the police over the murder of her brother.

According to her, \u201cWhen he came to the house last Saturday, he met Wasihu in a heated argument with another person and quickly joined. He told Wasihu that he was troublesome and worrying everybody in the neighbourhood and that they would deal with him.\u201d

Earlier reports in Kumasi indicated that Wasihu\u2019s mother was a dyed-in-the-wool NDC member who died few months ago during the party\u2019s event.

However, DAILY GUIDE\u2019s checks revealed that it was untrue and that it was rather a junior sister of Wasihu\u2019s mother who died when she reportedly shouted in ecstasy to welcome former President John Mahama.

She collapsed and died at the Central Mosque in Kumasi few months ago.

Wasihu, said to belong to an NDC vigilante group, the Taskforce, was shot dead by a member of a rival NDC vigilante group; the Hawks aligned to Joseph Yamin, top party personality in the region.

He was shot and killed at the NDC Ashanti Regional Headquarters, Amakom in Kumasi last Monday.

Joseph Yamin and Yamoah Ponkoh have both been quizzed by detectives of the Ashanti Regional Command in connection with the murder and related shooting on the premises of the party headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
