Hundreds of Sogakofe residents in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region, gathered Saturday night to hold a vigil in memory of slain Assemblyman, Marcus Mawutor Adzahli.
Mr. Adzahli was murdered in cold blood early Sunday at his residence by unknown gunmen who also wounded his daughter and wife.
