The National Security Minister, Kan Dapaah, has been ordered to appear before the committee on Wednesday for more inquiries.
A second appearance before the committee has also been requested for Bugri Naabu, the former Northern Regional Chairman of the NPP, on September 13.

“The witnesses should come back tomorrow with their lawyers. The IGP should come with his lawyers, the Minister of National Security should show up with his lawyers and proceedings will continue,” he stated.
