Afram Plains robbery: IGP to brief media today
The Inspector General of Polic, John Kudalor will
today brief the media on reports that some of its
officers allegedly attempted to rob a GCB bank
bullion van in Afram Plains in the Easter Region.

“Following the recent armed robbery incident at
Afram Plains in which two police men were
allegedly involved and subsequent developments,
the Inspector General of Police and the entire
Police Management Board will address a press
conference to highlight some pertinent issues,”
a statement signed by the Director of
Communications at the Police Service, Supt. Cephas
Arthur added.

The attempted robbery led to the death of the
driver of the van after a heated exchange of
gunfire between the police officer in the van and
the suspects.

Though the officers were arrested and were being
conveyed to Koforidua, the regional Police
command, they managed to escape to neighboring
towns.

They were later captured at their hideouts and
have subsequently been sent to the Police National
Headquarters in Accra.

Prior to their capturing, some residents in areas
where the incident occured on Thursday went on
rampage and vandalized some Police stations at
Donkorkrom and Tease to demand the speedy arrest
of the fugitives.

They reportedly ended up setting ablaze the
Donkorkrom Police station and pelted the officers
with stones.
