In a startling event at the NDC Regional Party Secretariat in Tamale, Hajia Shamima Yakubu, also known as the Iron Lady and the Northern Regional Treasurer of the NDC, has reportedly faced a severe physical assault by the first Vice Chairman, Alhaji Gbewaa.

The alleged attack is linked to party funds, adding to the escalating tensions within the NDC.

This incident follows a recent violent altercation involving Chairman Azorka and the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, at the Global Dream Hotel last week.

Hajia Shamima Yakubu, a loyal supporter of former President John Mahama, is said to have sustained facial injuries and received medical treatment as a result of the assault.
