Police have not officially commented on the matter.

The Sawla district is one of the hotspots for criminal activities in Ghana.

In March 2022, residents pleaded with the police to intensify night patrol in the town to curb the rising insecurity in the District.

They said the presence of the police patrol at vantage points at night will assure residents that their lives and properties were safe. Their appeal was on the back of strange killings, half burials, and the rampant robbery cases recorded in the district and nearby towns.

It was the reason the police administration intensified the night patrols that resulted in thieves robbing the commander who had been on duty.
