MAN WHO SUPPLIES WEAPONS TO ARMED ROBBERS NABBED
The Ghana Police
Service has announced the arrest of one Bukari Salifu, who is said to provide
weapons to armed robbers for their expeditions.
Bukari Salifu, 65, was
arrested over the weekend following police intelligence.
Prior to his arrest,
two suspected robbers who had been arrested when they attempted to rob
motorists along the Koluedor-Sege-Accra road had mentioned Bukari Salifu as the
one who provides them with weapons for their robberies.
But while ostensibly
taking the police to the man, the two rather took the crime-combat team to a
bush full of other armed robbers.
“There, the police came
under fire as the suspects attempted to escape,” a press release signed by
Acting Director-General of Public Affairs ACP Kwesi Ofori on Monday, September
27 noted.
The suspected armed
robbers were shot in the process and were rushed to the Police Hospital, where
they died.
They are Joseph Dagodzo
and Mujahid Abubakar, alias Sule.
Their bodies have been
deposited at the Police Hospital morgue.
