We are deeply saddened to hear about 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 who, according to reports, did not take anything from the victims and fled the scene on a motorbike.
The Ghana Police Service has launched an intensive investigation into this appalling crime. A news brief from the Police indicated that an intelligence-led operation is currently underway to apprehend the suspects responsible for this heinous act.
The loss of two dedicated officers in such a senseless and cowardly act is a stark reminder of the risks that law enforcement officers face in the line of duty. 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 reprehensible act are brought to justice.
The safety and security of our law enforcement officers and the communities they serve are of utmost importance, and we stand in solidarity with the Ghana Police Service as they work tirelessly to ensure that justice is served.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide any updates as they become available.
