Ghana’s deputy ambassador to Saudi Arabia Hajia Boya Gariba who used teargas and gunshots to disperse a church for noise making has turned herself to the police.
The action followed threats of arrest by the Tamale police.
Hajia reportedly scared the church with gunshots and teargas after congregants reportedly manhandled a boy he she had sent to warn them against the noise on Christmas Day.
Confirming the incident to Starr News Monday, Hajia Gariba said she gave the warning shots because the worshippers became aggressive after they failed to heed to her caution to tone down.
According to her, the move was only a self-defense mechanism.
“They came here to attack me so I had to call the regional commander, and I told them to stop, you won’t stop because its not a church. I did the shooting because they gave it (gun) to us for self protection.
“I have reported to the police, the CID has come here several times they won’t stop. I was bathing then they came here to attack us and they even wounded this boy so I have shot. The gun is licensed and I have been trained to use it,” she recounted.
Meanwhile, the Tamale police has promised to conduct a thorough investigations into the incident.
