The Central Regional Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Serwaa Oppong said the four suspects were picked up in Swedru based on intelligence after a formal complaint was lodged by the MP over plans to kill her.

Items including a knife, a cutlass, a lighter and two packets of rizzler as well as two bank opened-cheques for GHC5000 each were retrieved from them.

Amoah who laughed off earlier reports of his arrest in connection with the case, later admitted to issuing those cheques.
