Four Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCEs) in the Northern Region were involved in a car crash on the Tamale – Accra highway in the early hours of Monday, 24 June 2019.
They were travelling in a convoy to Wa, the capital of the Upper West Region, to join President Nana Akufo-Addo to launch the ‘Rearing for Food and Jobs’ flagship programme. They include the DCE for Mion, Abdallah Mohammed Hashim; Gushegu MCE Issah Musah, Bimbila MCE Abdulai Yakubu and Zabzugu DCE Ahmed Abukari Iddrisu.
They have been stabilised and currently receiving treatment at the Tamale Teaching Hospital. There are plans to airlift them to the 37 Military Hospital for comprehensive medical care. The accident occurred some metres from the Datoyili police barrier at the outskirts of Tamale.
Northern Regional Minister Salifu Saeed, who confirmed the accident to Class FM said: “A Benz bus from Accra – I think he [the driver] travelled throughout the night; I think the fatigue – all of a sudden veered into the Zabzugu DCE’s vehicle and they got crashed and the vehicle somersaulted and that led to the accident”.
He explained that the MDCEs had “decided that instead of each one of them using their own vehicles, they should park [their cars] and use a shared vehicle [to travel together]”, and that is why they were all in one vehicle.

More to follow, u use are money to buy these Nissan patrol SUVs for all the over 200 DCEs. And these are petrol cars not diesel. As we they here suffer n u enjoy for there, u go perish like that.
The truth is they were in their separate cars. Peacefmonline stop the propaganda with this. U showed pics of two SUVs in the accident yet u claim the four of them were in one car. I know the driver of one of dem.
is it a Mercedes benz car or bus ?
WE NEED TO SCREEN THE DRIVERS IN GHANA. THE DRIVER WAS OBVIOUSLY SLEEPING DUE TO FATIGUE, AND THIS IS SERIOUS! SOMETIMES BIG MEN SHOULD DO THE DRIVING THEMSELVES TO BE SAFE . THESE SO-CALLED PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS, HIGHLY UNEDUCATED, IN GHANA ARE MOSTLY FAKE! ILLITRACY IS KILLING GHANAIANS THROUGH HUMAN ERRORS WHICH ARE BECOMING TOO MUCH.
Eeeeee 3ntafoo ahunu amane paa
What was the need for all these speed on our roads. What was the rush. Afterall, what at all was akuffo addo going to do there, only mere propaganda. The man is going to speak like a British and you also following such an ediot to your grave. You could even gone to sleep over night. The interesting thing is that with all these rush, when they get back to their offices they don't do shitt too.
But they were going to meet who prior to the accident? Akufo Addo?? They should blame themselves and this is just a warning sign for them. This guys should note they were use for sacrifice for 2020 election. Fear Akufo Ado and save your life guys because this is not the Akufo Ado we no before.
may they get well soon
Sorry. But this is what happens when you are chopping our monies, driving in SUVs, enjoying free bungalows while the rest of us suffer daily. You will not die, this is just a warning. From this day forward you will begin to think about the masses and not your own interest. I know it hurts but sorry once again.
