The public relations officer of the police, the DSP Mohammed Yussif Tanko, who confirmed the arrest to DGN Online, said the suspect had confessed to being recruited for the operation.
According to him, the suspect allegedly mentioned six other suspects with whom he came to the area with four motorbikes from Togo.

He said the police had started to search for the other six accomplices and anyone else financing criminal activities in the Chereponi area.

Akwasi Amidu, Issah Bujume, Inusah Agboagme, Yakubu Musah and a Rafiq were also remanded in custody by a Tamale court.
Two of the suspects were released on bail because of their age and state of health.
Three people died as a result of the resumption of violence.
About 22 communities were burned to the ground during the clashes and more than 2,000 people were displaced.
