Subsequently, the Command with directive from its headquarters in Accra has interdicted Chief Inspector Eric Aforo, the Station Officer, and two officers, Corporal Williams Akussumg and Constable Ebenezer Akuffo.
The officers are said to have allegedly brutalised the deceased, Abu Bukari Bahala to death on April 17, 2021, while he was in police cells, covered the body in a black polythene bag, and buried it secretly at the Seikwa cemetery.
According to the GNA, the deceased was placed in cells for allegedly vandalising the 4x4 highlander vehicle, belonging to the Nkoranman Rural Bank at Seikwa.
