Three out of a seven-member gang suspected to have undertaken two gruesome murders in the Tema municipality have been declared wanted by the police.The suspects, Tahiru Adams, alias Augantey; Jonathan Abi, alias Joe, alias Oboy and Atta Kakra, alias Kariyansu, are said to be part of the gang that murdered Roko Frimpong, a former Deputy Managing Director of the Ghana Commercial Bank, and Kwartey Quartei, a retired worker of the Public Works Department on June 28, 2007 and July 17, 2007 respectively.Four others have been arrested, but the police are tight-lipped on their identities.Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Charles Tokor, Director of Operations of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), told newsmen on Monday that the three wanted persons were desperate persons and carried deadly weapons.He said anyone who harboured them was putting his or her life at great risk.ACP Tokor said the three were suspected to be hiding at Ashaiman, Tema, Agbogbloshie or Nungua, all in the Greater Accra Region, or Agona District in the Central Region or Takoradi in the Western Region.He renewed a GH¢2,000 (¢20 million) reward placed on the heads of the wanted persons by the Police Administration.He said the gang had been involved in other high profile robberies within the Accra and Tema areas.ACP Tokor said the police did not want to comment on the issue that the gang was contracted to undertake the killings but said at the appropriate time, "we will come out with the full facts".Nii Kwartey Quartey, 61, a retired officer of the Public Works Department (PWD), had just opened the gate to his Shalom Estates residence, expecting to receive a visitor, when the killers shot him in the chest and fled in a taxi, without taking any property.The killers later abandoned the taxi with registration number ER 3531 X off the Tema Beach Road and close to Sakumono village. The Tema police later disclosed that the taxi had been used in an earlier robbery which was still under investigation.Source: Daily Graphic
