Armed robbers shot and killed two police officers at Poyamirea, near Binduri, in the Upper East Region. The officers, dressed in plain clothes, were riding a private motorbike from Bongo to Binduri when ambushed.
The incident occurred on Sunday, April 13, according to a statement by ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi of the Police Service. The attackers opened fire on the officers and fled the scene on their motorbike, police confirmed.
Police officers have launched a manhunt to capture the suspects involved in the deadly ambush. Authorities are withholding the officers’ names until families are formally notified in line with tradition.
“We will surely get them,” ACP Ansah-Akrofi assured, pledging justice for the slain officers.
Police continue investigations to identify and arrest the perpetrators behind the brutal killing.
