A young man believed to be in his mid-30s from Changli, a suburb of the Tamale Metropolis in the Northern Region has left many tongues wagging and become a subject of public discussion after he was spotted in broad daylight riding a motorbike naked.
There are conflicting reports as to what could have compelled the man in question to do the unthinkable which has incurred the fury of some traditional rulers in the area who are threatening deterring sanctions.
It is gathered that he was reported to have challenged his colleagues he could ride a motorbike through the principal streets of the ancient town naked and dared anyone who doubted him to bet.
Another is said to have placed a GH¢50 bet and asked him to go to the most populated area within the Metropolis, buy food and return to claim the stated amount.
In no time, the man ripped himself of his clothes and jumped onto a ‘Mapouka’ motorbike towards the NEDco offices to the location and back amidst shouts from other road users who saw his conduct as very strange and mentally related.
He was said to have fulfilled his part of the bargain and returned to claim the amount but this has not stopped the wide public condemnation with sections doubting if he is of sound mind.
Tamale Dakpema, Naa Alhassan Dawuni who is not enthused about the development has summoned parents of the man and demanded they produce him to face the appropriate sanctions.
Meanwhile, parents of the unnamed young man claim he is spiritually possessed and battling a mental condition of which they are currently seeking treatment around Mankango in the East Gonja District before he went riding in town naked.
But the Chief who would not take excuses insists he must be produced dead or alive to face the music of his actions.
