The report says the NPP Chairman ran into a nearby house where the landlord tried to stop the Kunfusi people but the landlord himself was also beaten and the Chairman pulled out and beaten more with blood oozing from his ears until he was again rescued by many people.

Tingbani Bukari and his brothers from Kunfusi said he (Tingbani) was to receive a 'motorking' but was changed under the instruction of the NPP Chairman Mr Fushieni Mohammed.
