In fact, what we have heard is that his rank is police inspector… yes, he is an inspector. He has dated the lady before even though he is married with children,” he said in Twi.
Speaking in an interview with Hello FM on April 21, 2023, Samson Kwame Nyamekye revealed that preliminary information from the police indicates that they had gone into the inspector’s house but he was nowhere to be found. This has led to speculation that the suspect may be on the run.
“As I speak, the police have gone to his house and he is nowhere to be found…I believe that he might be having a visa that can allow him to run away, so if the police can publish his details, I think that will be fine,” he added.
