Another police officer has been shot dead in the line of duty at Sefwi-Wiawso in the Western-North region.
According to a police sitrep sighted by Myjoyonline.com, Sergeant Emmanuel Chikudoh was killed during an attack on bullion van belonging to Agricultural Development Bank (ADB).
On Tuesday morning at about 11:00 am, the Acting Manager of ADB of Sefwi Wiawso reported to police that their bullion van with registration number GT 9436-17, a Nissan Hardbody escorted team led by Saviour Amuzu, came under attack by two men armed with pump-action guns at the outskirt of 290 community near Asempaneye.

The fallen officer’s service rifle has been recovered, the police said.
The body has been deposited at the St. John of God Hospital morgue pending an autopsy.
