NPP Chairman’s Brother Shot Dead During Robbery Attempt at His Residence — Police Rule Out Raid
ACCRA, GHANA — The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that Seidu Bukari, the younger brother of NPP Bono East Regional Chairman Ibrahim Baba Bukari, was shot dead early on August 1, 2025, during what authorities described as a robbery attempt at the Chairman’s Techiman home—not a politically motivated raid.

What Happened: Police Statement & Incident Details
Around 1:20 a.m., officers acting on credible intelligence responded to a robbery in progress at the residence, where suspects were seen scaling the perimeter wall.
Seidu Bukari was shot while allegedly attempting to escape. The suspect was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Police confirmed he was a known member of a robbery gang terrorising Techiman and surrounding communities.
A motorbike and robbery tools were recovered at the scene. Police launched a manhunt for other fleeing suspects.
Family Rejects Narrative, Calls for Accountability
While police ruled out any raid or politically driven operation, Bukari’s family has rejected the official narrative:
Family spokesperson Alhaji Issah Mahmoud Ali told Adom News:
“We reject the rumours and alleged police reports. Seidu had no history of robbery or criminal activity.”
Local residents and community leaders have demanded a more plausible explanation from authorities and an independent investigation.
Investigative Insight: Implications & Political Overtones
The incident triggered speculation about political targeting, given its occurrence at the NPP Chairman’s residence and death of a family member.
Police maintained the operation was strictly a criminal sting, not a house raid, a claim supported by Graphic Online and Ghanaian Times reports.
Authorities have deployed a team of investigators from the CID, Police Professional Standards Bureau, and Police Intelligence Directorate Headquarters to ensure transparency.\
