Two suspected robbers were killed on Monday, 27th September 2021 at Ashaiman, a suburb of Accra, according to the Police.
Joseph Dagodzo and Mujahid Abubakar died after they had been rushed to hospital following gun wounds that they sustained in a shootout with the Police.
According to a statement signed by the acting Director-General of Police Public Affairs Department, ACP Kwesi Ofori, a third suspect, Bukari Salifu, has since also been arrested from his hideout at Zenu.
The 67-year-old is believed to be a financier and supplier of weapons for the gang.
The statement added that the Police retrieved weapons, including a Blow F9-22 pistol, a locally manufactured pistol, and two motorbikes.
It assured the public of the Police’s resolve to fight the upsurge in violent crimes in the Greater Accra region, where ritual murders and broad daylight robberies are dominating the crime wave.
