Mustapha Iddrisu Danlad, who allegedly pulled out a pump-action shotgun and shot indiscriminately while emergency crews fought a blaze at Redco Flats on August 3, 2025, is facing multiple criminal charges.
The court set bail at GH₵100,000, requiring three sureties, with one backed by a land title deed worth at least GH₵50,000. Danlad must also report to the Madina Police every Wednesday until the case concludes.
