We are deeply concerned about the recent robbery incident that occurred in the Assin Fosu Municipality of the Central Region, involving a 41-year-old Cocoa District Officer, Mr. Lucas Osei. The assailants, who are currently unknown, attacked Mr. Osei at his residence in the early hours of the morning, causing significant harm and stealing valuable items.
The Central North Command of the Ghana Police Service has swiftly responded to this disturbing event. Despite the prompt arrival of a team of police officers, led by Superintendent Kwabena Darkoh, the perpetrators managed to evade capture. However, the authorities are actively pursuing the assailants and have reassured the public of their commitment to bringing them to justice.
Eyewitnesses have reported the harrowing nature of the attack, highlighting the severity of Mr. Osei's injuries. He was promptly taken to the St. Francis Xavier Hospital for medical treatment, where he is currently receiving care.
In response to this incident, the Central North Regional Commander has visited the hospital to gather firsthand information about the situation. Additionally, the authorities have emphasized the ongoing nature of the investigation and have appealed to the community for any relevant information that may aid in apprehending the perpetrators.
Furthermore, the Central North Command has pledged to maintain peace and order in the area, ensuring that residents can carry out their daily activities without fear or apprehension. It is imperative that swift action is taken to address this security breach and to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
As we await further developments in this case, our thoughts are with Mr. Lucas Osei, and we extend our sincere hopes for his swift recovery. The safety and security of all individuals within the community are of utmost importance, and we trust that the authorities will continue to work diligently towards achieving justice in this matter.
