For anyone who gives information that results in the arrest of persons connected to the recent killings and disappearances of people in the Wa in the Upper West region, the Ghana Police Service has offered a reward of GHC100,000.00.
Since the murders of private security officers, Wa residents have spent the last five months in fear.
Ten lives have been lost in strange circumstances by “serial killers” in the area in the last five months.
Last Friday, some residents showed up in their numbers at the Technical Institute to protest the security situation in Wa.
Only three bodies have been found out of the ten people who have lost their lives. In a statement, the police said, “We continue to urge anyone with credible information that will lead to the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators to come forward and share with the Police. In line with this, a reward of GHC100,000 has been set aside for anyone who provides information in that regard”.
On Monday, the police released a statement assuring the residents they are working hard to bring the perpetrators to book.
“The police continue to maintain law, order, and security in the Wa municipality and surrounding communities,” the statement issued on Monday, September 19, 2022 said.
“We wish to assure residents of the Wa municipality and its environs that the special intelligence and investigation teams will continue to work around the clock with assistance from the affected communities to bring the perpetrators to face justice. Operations and combat teams have also saturated the area to ensure safety and security,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has arrested one suspect who is alleged to be involved in the murders.
According to the police, the suspect, Kankani Adongo, is allegedly involved in at least the recent murder of a 58-year-old security man.
In a post shared on Facebook, Monday, the police said that Adongo was arrested with the collaboration of the community search parties.
