Legon police arrest three suspected armed robbers
Accra, March 5, Ghanadot/GNA - Three suspected armed robbers
have been arrested by the Legon District Police Command led
by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Richmond Bonsu
at Adjiringanor in Accra.
The suspected robbers identified as Rabbi Asamoah, 24,
William Ayine, 27, and Godwin Nyamallor, 29, have been
handed over to the Regional Police Headquarters for further
interrogation.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency on Thursday, ASP
Bonsu said last week, the Legon Police had a tip-off that a
number of suspected armed robbers were hiding in a kiosk at
Adjiringanor.
He then led a team that took cover in the area around 0200
last Thursday and arrested the three suspected armed robbers
who possessed a black travelling bag containing seven mobile
phones and two talismans.
During initial interrogation Nyamallor claimed he was a
spiritualist and was at the time of their arrest invoking
the spirits to assist Ayine spiritually to obtain an Italian
visa to travel while Asamoah claimed he was a phone
repairer.
In a separate interview with GNA, Deputy Regional Police
Commander,
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Bright Oduro
said two armed robbery cases were reported last month by the
residents of Adjiringanor at East Legon in which local and
foreign currencies, mobile phones and electronic gadgets
were stolen.
Meanwhile, one of the victims has identified Asamoah as one
of the suspected robbers who attacked them that night.
According to ACP Oduro, there would be an identification
parade of suspected armed robbers on Tuesday at the Regional
Police Headquarters and called on the general public who
have been victims of recent armed robberies in the Greater
Accra Region to assist the police to deal with those found
culpable.
