Information coming in indicates that Barikisu Losina, the recently removed District Chief Executive of Sawla-Tuna-Kalba district, has been involved in an accident.

The incident occurred near Guripe on the Sawla-Damongo Road on Saturday morning.

This comes just a day after Barikisu Losina was dismissed from her position by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, alongside 23 other Municipal and District Chief Executives. The reasons for their removal were not provided.

Barikisu Losina was reportedly traveling to Tamale with her child and a driver of the assembly when the accident happened. All the occupants, including the former DCE, are currently receiving treatment at St. Anne’s Hospital in Damongo.

President Akufo-Addo's decision to dismiss the Municipal and District Chief Executives was communicated in a statement dated January 2, 2024, and was followed by the nomination of 26 new Municipal and District Chief Executive Officers in a subsequent statement dated January 3, 2024.

The President cited compliance with constitutional and legal provisions for his decision.
