The Police have so far arrested four suspects in connection with the bullion van robbery, which occurred on June 14, 2023, at Ablekuma Fan milk in Accra.
A news brief from the Police said one of the suspects was arrested on Saturday July 15.
It said the four were in custody assisting with police investigation.
Lance Corporal Callistus Amoah was shot and killed in the robbery and laid to rest on Saturday, July 15, 2023.
How it happened
According to reports, the attack occurred when the bullion van made a stop at a fuel station, presumably to purchase fuel. It was at this point that the robbers reportedly attacked the van.
It is not clear yet whether they took away any money. Meanwhile, the driver of the van is said to have escaped unhurt.
Videos captured after the shooting which have gone viral on social media, showed some members of the public helping the injured officer out of the car, but he died later at the scene.
The last major bullion van attack that led to the death of a young police officer, coincidentally occurred in June 2021 at Jamestown, a suburb of Accra.
It was carried out by a gang of six robbers. It later emerged that among the robbers were police officers who killed their colleague in order to protect their identities.
Following that incident, the Ghana Police Service expressed concern about the limited protection for its staff because the banks were not using the right bullion vans to move money from one point to the other.
