The Ghana Police Service has come under scrutiny over the dubious shooting of two of its arrested officers involved in the infamous bullion van armed robbery syndicate.
Curious members of the public are questioning the curious coincidence of how the only two arrested dirty cops; Constable Reindolph Gyimah Ansah and Cpl. Stephan Kwaku Nyame, were the only ones who were hit in a shootout between Police and other gang members at Borteyman near Ashaiman.
After a little loll, there is new demand for the Police to make a clean breast of whatever it is hiding from the public – the public believes that the top echelon of the Police Service is filled with crooks who are secret kingpins behind the syndicate of armed robbers in the country.
Indeed, shortly after the shooting of the rogue cops, Kwame Asare Oben, aka A-Plus the popular musician cum social commentator had hinted that he knew some high-ranking officers who were involved in the crime.
He threatened to mention names almost a week ago. It is unclear why he has not followed through with his threats.
There are indications that the shooting of the two cops was a systematic ploy by the mafia bosses within the police service to protect their identities in their involvement with crime syndicates across the country.
are now murdering their boys whom they send out in the field to rob in an attempt to ensure that the truth does not come out.
Last week, the Director-General of Police Public Affairs, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Kwesi Ofori, annoyed the public when he claimed that Constable Gyimah Ansah and Cpl. Kwaku Nyame had been killed in the shootout at Borteyman.
Supposedly clarifying what had happened to the two armed robbing Police officers, Kwesi Fori had claimed the two had been carried along in an intelligence-led operation when they were met with some gunmen who shot at them.
Then in the exchange of fire with the police, only the two self-confessed suspects had been killed.
“An intelligence-led field operation took off and in the process, there was heavy exchange of fire and the two sustained gunshot injuries and were taken to the police hospital in Accra but they later passed on,” Mr Kwesi Ofori said on Accra-based Joy FM on the morning of March 9, 2022.
He added, “So let us understand this, that in police operations, there are high risks in nature and at the time the raid took place, it was a very serious and well-targeted operation. Even as I speak to you, we’ve arrested four policemen, one other civilian and they will be put before court.”
Constable Gyima Ansah for instance is said to have confessed that one of his accomplices is an instructor at the Tesano Police Depot.
It would be recalled that in June 2021, a police officer, General Constable Emmanuel Kobby Osei was killed in the line of duty whilst accompanying a bullion van. He had been shot in the head by the robbers who were on motorbikes along with a civilian nearby.
Gyimah is said to have confessed to killing Const. Osei and that before he would die, the officer had identified Gyimah and asked why he was doing what he was doing.
