Police Reward Officers for Asiyaw Murder Arrests

 


Ghana Police Service has promoted four officers from the Western Central Regional Police Command for their diligence, professionalism, and commitment in a high-stakes operation that led to the arrest of key suspects linked to the recent Asiyaw murder case.

The promoted officers are No. 47459 G/Sgt. Fetus Gameli Kukuia, now Inspector; No. 52192 G/Cpl. Christian Asare, and No. 52441 G/Cpl. Nicholas Kingsley Amoah, both promoted to Sergeant; and No. 59947 G/Const. Adam Yakubu, who now holds the rank of Lance Corporal.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, together with the Police Management Board (POMAB), commended the officers for their swift and professional response. The IGP emphasized that the Ghana Police Service remains committed to recognizing and rewarding excellence and that these promotions are a testament to that commitment.

The commendable operation occurred on April 30, 2025, just a day after the brutal murder of five individuals at Asiyaw near Nsawam. Officers from the Western Central Regional Command intercepted a Grand Bird Bus at Bawdie Barrier, near Wassa Akropong, where they arrested three suspects—Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab—for unlawful possession of arms and ammunition.

A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a submachine gun (SMG) and 21 rounds of ammunition in the possession of Hakeem Imoro. Upon interrogation, Imoro disclosed that the weapon was given to him by his employer, Samuel Atsu Forson alias Alanyo, who had already been arrested in connection with the Asiyaw murders.

Subsequent investigations confirmed that the arrested individuals were linked to the murders and were likely attempting to flee the area at the time of their capture.

The Ghana Police Service has lauded the officers for their vigilance and professional conduct, noting that such exemplary service not only upholds the law but strengthens public trust in the police force.

Chieftaincy Crisis: Ngleshie Alata Chiefs Reject Imposed Mantse

The Ngleshie Alata Traditional Council has strongly condemned the recent induction of Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye, also known as Oblempong Wetse Kojo II, as the Ngleshie Alata Mantse. Speaking on behalf of the council, Nii Ofei III, Divisional Chief of Kokrobitey, alleged that the induction was carried out unlawfully by the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs without the knowledge or involvement of the traditional council. According to Nii Ofei III, the process of installing a chief follows clear constitutional and customary guidelines, which were blatantly disregarded in this case. He accused the registrar of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and its president, Oboade Notse King Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, of collaborating to impose Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye on the traditional council. “This induction was conducted in secrecy. We only became aware of it after a letter circulated about a meeting between the Greater Accra Regional Minister and the Regional House of Chief...

The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...
