Bullion van robbery: Police Command must be blamed Security Expert

The Command of the Ghana Police Service has been blamed for the death of the young police officer who was murdered by robbers in a bullion van robbery on Thursday at Ablekuma in the country’s capital.

“With all the analysis made, the police high command should be blamed for the death of the officer”, Security Expert Mr Anthony Acquaye has said.

Mr Anthony Acquaye thinks the police could not follow its own directive of denying services to various institutions that failed to procure the prescribed vehicles for conveying bulk cash and also ensure the safety of its officers.

Speaking to Angel FM  in Kumasi, Mr Anthony Acquaye argued “It’s on record that in a press release by the Ghana Police Service directed all the banks to have the right bullion vans to secure the safety of their officers even when they are attacked.

The statement continued to say that if they do not provide such vans, they will not allow their officers in such operations. So what happened to the officer in the robbery case yesterday knowing that the van they used at Ablekuma was not the right van? “

“I tell you on authority that with all the analysis, the police High command should be blamed”, he stressed.

The comment by Mr Anthony Acquay was in reaction to the robbery incident that occurred Thursday at Ablekuma a suburb of Accra.

According to reports, the attack occurred when the bullion van made a stop at a fuel station, presumably to purchase fuel. It was at this point that the robbers reportedly attacked the van.

It is not clear whether they took away any money as the footage available suggests the trunk of the vehicle was not open.

Meanwhile, the driver of the van is said to have escaped unhurt.

Videos captured by CCTV that have circulated on social media, showed how the robbers carried out their operations

Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service says it has started a search for a gang of four robbers who attacked a van at Ablekuma Fanmilk.

The robbers, according to the police, shot the officer who was providing escort for the van.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
