The Boamang Police Command has arrested two suspects linked to the gruesome murder of 26-year-old Foster Afrifa, who was stabbed to death on April 21, 2024, following a brief misunderstanding at Akom.
The suspects, identified as Solomon Owusu, alias “Company Hero,” and Sumaila Yahaya, alias “Royal,” were earlier declared wanted after their names were mentioned by a third suspect, Kassim Ashiru, who was initially arrested and confessed to the crime.
According to police sources, the two were later rearrested at the Kodie Police Station, where they had been detained for a separate crime. The Boamang Police, in collaboration with their Kodie counterparts, successfully transferred the suspects to assist in the ongoing murder investigation.
In a shocking twist, the two suspects are also believed to have been involved in a recent robbery incident in which some military officers were attacked and a mobile phone stolen.
Police are continuing their investigations to build a solid case, with plans to arraign the suspects immediately after the holiday break. Photographs of the suspects have been secured, and authorities say updates will be provided in due course.
In an interview with Atinka News, Assembly Member for the area, Hon. Obed Kwarteng, expressed concern over the increasing crime rate and commended the police for the swift action taken.
The community remains on high alert as investigations continue.
