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.
The residents, mostly, youth, gathered at the Y-Junction and dressed in black and red with candle lights and marched through the streets demanding justice for the late Adzahli.
Mr Adzahli was elected Assemblyman for Sogakofe South Electoral Area in December 2019.
A protest by residents turned bloody when stray bullets hit three people, Monday.
Preliminary investigations by the police in the region, have led to the retrieval of some seven BB cartridges, including six used ones, at the crime scene.
The South Tongu District Assembly has placed a GH¢10,000 bounty on the killers.
Similarly, former President Jerry John Rawlings has also announced a GH¢25,000 reward for anyone with useful information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators.
