The officers arrest murder suspects
According to the statement, the officers were promoted following their excellent performance in apprehending three suspects connected to the murder of five people at Asiyaw, near Nsawam in Ghana’s Eastern Region.
The suspects were reportedly caught on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at Bawdie Barrier near Wassa Akropong while trying to escape the area carrying a submachine gun and ammunition.
"Upon interrogation, suspect Hakeem Imoro revealed that the firearm had been given to him by his boss, known as Forson, who was later identified as Samuel Atsu Forson alias Alanyo, already under arrest in connection with the murder at Asiyaw," the police statement read.
