The police have arrested three suspects in connection with the alleged cases of murder and causing harm at Gbiniyiri in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region.

A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency said the suspects, Yaw Bamuah, Yaa Bokaa, and Kuma Simpor, were arrested on March 14 through a joint operation by the IGP’s Special Intelligence Team and the Savannah Regional Police Command.

During interrogation, one of the suspects admitted involvement in the attack and mentioned accomplices currently being pursued by the Police.

“During interrogation, suspect Yaw Bamuah admitted involvement in the attack and mentioned several accomplices, including Anuda Borour, Pobiye, Bitunor Sansa, and James Sanyuah, who are currently being pursued by the Police,” the statement said.

The suspect indicated that the attack was carried out in retaliation following the killing of a relative, believed to have been attacked by robbers suspected to be Fulanis.

It said the suspect later led the Police to his residence, where a weapon and ammunition were retrieved.

“He subsequently led the Police to his house at Gbiniyiri, where a single-barreled shotgun with serial number BAT 2598-88 and two live AAA cartridges were retrieved from a concealed spot within the compound,” it said.

The suspects, it said, were in Police custody assisting investigations and would be put before the court.

The statement said efforts were underway to arrest other persons connected with the incident.
