We are deeply saddened to report the tragic incident that occurred on Thursday, May 02, 2024, at approximately 1800 hours, in front of a private residence at Block factory, East Trasacco, Accra. Two off-duty Police officers were fatally shot by two gunmen in a senseless act of violence.
According to a news brief from the Police, the gunmen, in a cowardly and heartless act, did not take anything from the victims and fled the scene on a motorbike. This despicable act has left the law enforcement community and the entire nation in shock and mourning.
In response to this appalling crime, the Police have initiated an intelligence-led operation to bring the perpetrators to justice. The search for the suspects is ongoing, and every effort is being made to ensure that they are swiftly apprehended.
The loss of these two dedicated officers is a stark reminder of the risks that law enforcement officers face every day in their unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends, and colleagues of the fallen officers during this difficult time.
We urge anyone with information related to this incident to come forward and assist the authorities in their investigation. It is crucial that those responsible for this heinous act are held accountable for their actions.
As a community, we must stand together in support of our law enforcement agencies and send a clear message that violence against those who serve and protect will not be tolerated. We must also take this opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by all law enforcement officers and express our gratitude for their service.
We will continue to monitor the developments in this case and provide any updates as they become available. Let us come together in solidarity as we seek justice for the fallen officers and their families.
