The chief of Tuba detained with four others in connection with a shootout between the police and armed robbers last weekend have been granted police enquiry bail to report to the police on Monday as investigation continues. Police say the chief, Munkaila Agbo Narh, is key to their investigations. The incident occurred when a police patrol team was ambushed whiles on its way to arrest a notorious armed robber in his hideout in the area during which a policeman was killed and three injured. Seventy-six suspects were arrested and five detained after screening. Acting Accra Police PRO, Corporal Kwabena Danso told Joy news the suspects will duly go to court but they need to carry out more investigations into the case. Chief Narh, 48, is alleged to have asked Dawood Tetteh, the principal suspect, whose attempted arrest Saturday February 11, led to the killing of a policeman and injury to three others, to flee the town before the police could organise any swoop.
