Police in the Eastern Region have arrested two robbers who blocked a section of the road at Kwahu-Tafo to rob residents plying that stretch.
The suspects, Ibrahim Sambo, aged 31, and Sulleyman Sambo, aged 21, were all armed with single-barrel guns.
The Eastern Regional Police Public Relations Officer DSP Ebenezer Tetteh confirmed the arrest to Citi News.
“On July 28th at about 10.30 am, the Kwahu Mpraeso Police patrol team had information that armed robbers had blocked a section of the Kwahu Tafo -Kwahu Pitiku motor road and were robbing drivers and passengers commuting that section of the road. Police quickly responded and met three Fulani men armed with single barrel shotguns.â€
“Upon seeing the police they took to their heels into the bush, the police patrol team pursued them and arrested suspect Ibrahim Sambo aged 31 and also retrieved one single barrel shotgun from him.â€
“Again at about 10:55 pm, suspect Sullemana Sambo aged 21, one of the two robbery suspects who escaped through the bush, was arrested with the help of the townfolks of Kwahu -Pitiku. Suspects have been detained and the exhibit retained. Efforts are being made to apprehend the third suspect who is on the run.â€
DSP Ebenezer Tetteh concluded by urging victims of the robberies to report to the Kwahu Tafo Police Station to assist us with our investigations.â€
