The four security personnel who were arrested in Bole for stealing during an operation at Koundanlgou have been interdicted.
The four suspects; Assistant Inspector of Immigration Joseph Awuku Kumi, 39; Constable Christian Appiah Junior, 24; G/Constable Augustine Apraku, 28; and G/Constable Richmond Owusu Ansah, 30.
According to the Savannah Regional Police Command, preliminary investigations have provided enough evidence for the officers to be interdicted to serve as deterrence to other security service personnel.
On Monday, November 29, 2021, the said officers were arrested for stealing some belongings from illegal miners.
The police revealed that after the arrest of the personnel, Constable Christian Appiah had on him GH₵4,135.
Whereas, Constable Augustine Apraku and Constable Richmond Owusu Ansah were found with smartphones belonging to the illegal miners.
The Assistant Inspector of Immigration, Joseph Awuku Kumi, was found with an amount to the tune of ¢10,880.
Currently, the suspects are in the Savannah regional police custody, and the exhibits are retained for further investigation.
