The Ghana Police Service has commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of two persons in the Wa Municipality of the Upper West Region.
The two incidents were recorded on Tuesday at the Wa East Education Service office and the Wa Model JHS School.
“We would like to assure the public, especially the residents of Wa, to remain calm as the Police work to get those involved arrested to face justice,” the Service said in a statement.
Giving more details after visiting one of the crime scenes, the Upper West Regional Minister, Stephen Yakubu said one of the deceased was hit with a stone which rendered him unconscious before the culprits slit his throat.
“So far, nothing shows that a human part was taken but of course, further investigation will uncover more information,” he said.
He further asked the residents to remain calm as the security services thoroughly probe the matter.
“The Regional Security Council will go back and strategise but we want to assure the Wa people that the security services will be patrolling and do what they need to do to make sure everyone is safe,” he stated.
