One of the suspects, Suleiman admitted shooting the victim but explained that he [the victim] was not his target.

Suleiman said he specifically bought the locally manufactured pistol at a cost GH¢300.00 to attack one Shatta with whom he had a misunderstanding.

He said his hope was to meet Shatta at the street jam in order to take revenge but did not materialise.
