The police on Saturday morning arrested another suspect in connection with a bullion van robbery attack at Ablekuma that led to the death of General Corporal Callistus Amoah.
This was upon intelligence from the Aflao District Police Command which revealed the suspect was spotted at Asigame market in Lome, Togo.
The District Crime Officer, DSP Eric Vondee, in charge, D/Insprs Gabriel Damadzi, Martin Afari Koranteng and Cpl Issah Ayamba proceeded to Asigame market, Lome, Togo and with the assistance of Togo Interpol, arrested suspect Blessing Njoma, a Nigerian.
He was taken to Togo Interpol Headquarters and when his body was searched old bullet scars were found on the right shoulder.
According to him, he was shot in Nigeria in 2014 in a fight.
The police say efforts are being made to search his place of abode before bringing him to Ghana.
This comes after a police officer was shot multiple times in a suspected robbery attempt on occupants of a bullion van at a fuel station at Ablekuma.
General Corporal Amoah was on official duty when he was shot while the van had stopped for fuel. The driver of the van, however, escaped unhurt.
