A planned musical concert show by Samini at the Tamale sports stadium has been cancelled following the exchange of gunfire between two feuding groups in the city.
Sources say the shooting was as a result of a clash between family members of a woman accused of witchcraft and youth of Dagbandaba Fon.
The youth were forcing the alleged witch to go and see a witch doctor so she could be exorcised; however, their efforts were fiercely resisted by family members of the alleged witch.
The youth claimed they were working in accordance with a custom of the Dagombas which says a witch doctor can force out truth from a person who denies accusations of sorcery. However, children of the accused, in an attempt to prevent the youth from arresting the woman fired several gunshots, resulting in a serious scuffle.
The incident, according to sources, happened at about 10pm when the aggrieved youth stormed the residence of the alleged witch to drag her to the witch doctor.
No casualty was recorded. The Tamale Police, according to reports say they are yet to be informed about the incident.
Organisers of the show, Smile Multimedia said the show was stopped because of fears of reprisal attack.

Was d shooting done at the stadium?
Two families allegedly have a disagreement over how to treat an alleged witch. Gunshots are fired and the Police in the area didnt hear nothing or see nothing and nothing was reported. The organizer of a show who has nothing to do with this alleged incident cancels a show he has put money into for fear of reprisal attacks. What did they have to do with the earlier incident to warrant an attack? did they not make security arrangements? There is more to this story than we are being told.
The show flopped, just admit it and stop this crooked story. Brand Samini is on its knees. Sad but true.
