2 policemen; 3 others arrested in Kwame-Danso robbery

Two Police officers and three others are in the grips of the Brong Ahafo Regional Police for aiding the robbery attack that led to the death of a Police constable in Kwame-Danso, near Atebubu in the Brong Ahafo Region.

The number brings to six those arrested after the Police picked up the prime suspect on Sunday, June 12.

The deceased Police constable, Frank Adu Klu, was shot dead last Tuesday while he was escorting a commercial bus. Confirming the arrest to Citi News, the Brong Ahafo Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Christopher Tawiah, said they are still on a hunt for other suspects who are at large.

“The prime suspect mentioned five names that accompanied him to commit the robbery on the market women, so the Police went ahead and arrested them this dawn.

These people include two Policemen; one is Lance corporal Asiedu Mensah and Corporal Solomon Abu.” ASP Tawaiah said the suspect confessed that one of the arrested officers “sold the ammunition” to him while the other one “took part in the physical attack.”

He also added that the Police officers were from Goaso and Atebubu divisions respectively. The Regional Police PRO earlier told Citi News they had information that the suspects were seven in number
