The Ghana Police Service has arrested and detained three suspects in connection with a robbery on students and lecturers of the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR).
The robbery occurred on the Odomase-Badu road in the Sunyani West Municipality around 1900 hours on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
A reliable police source at the Bono Regional Police Command told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the arrest was made through police intelligence, saying investigations were still ongoing.
