On April 30, 2025, a day after the murder of five persons at Asiyaw near Nsawam, the Western Central Regional Command arrested three suspects for unlawful possession of arms and ammunition at Bawdie Barrier near Wassa Akropong.
The suspects, Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab, were travelling on a Grand Bird Bus, registration AS 4431 22, en route to Wassa Akropong, when the officers intercepted and searched the vehicle.
A submachine gun and twenty-one rounds of ammunition were retrieved from Hakeem Imoro.
He later disclosed that the weapon was given to him by his boss, identified as Samuel Atsu Forson alias Alanyo, who had already been arrested in connection with the Asiyaw murders.
Further investigations confirmed that the suspects were directly linked to the incident and were attempting to flee the area.
The Police Service commended the officers for their vigilance and reiterated its commitment to recognising excellence and professionalism in the fight against crime.
