Help the police to arrest the Lapaz cop killers for GH¢10,000- IGP
The Inspector General of
Police, David Asante Apeatu has announced a GH¢10,000 reward for anyone with
information leading to the arrest of two armed men who shot two police officers
at Abeka Lapaz killing one of them.
The
incident took place in the full glare of the public on the N1 (George Walker
Bush) Highway Thursday afternoon bringing activities in the busy area to a
sudden standstill.
The
officers, Daniel Owusu and Djibril Alhassan who were on their motorbikes, were
said to be pursuing the suspected criminals who were also riding a bike when
they shot at them at close range.
Owusu was
shot multiple times and was rushed to a nearby health facility by
some members of the public but died shortly after. The Accra Police Command in
a statement has said, Djibril is however in a stable condition.

The suspects later snatched an unregistered Hyundai vehicle
from its owner at gunpoint and sped off, a police statement said.
Commissioning
an office for the Divisional Command at Kaneshie in Accra Friday, Mr Asante
Apeatu said: “It is sad to note that very few criminally minded groups and
individuals continue to perpetrate violence on our hard working officers as
well as some members of the public.
“The killing of a constable, who was on lawful community policing
duties to protect the public, is a matter concern to the Police Administration
as well as the entire Police Service and the public.
“On this note, the Police Administration is offering a reward of
10,000 cedis to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of those
behind this criminal act,” the IGP announced.
