The Ghana Police Service, in a statement on Sunday, April 13, signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Grace Ansah-Akrofi, announced that it had launched a manhunt for the robbers who killed two police officers at Poyamirea near Binduri in the Upper East Region.

Our hearts and prayers are with you. “We would like to assure the general public that the perpetrators of this heinous crime will be arrested and brought to face justice, and we will surely get them,” the statement read in part.
