The Bono Regional Police Command has shot and killed two suspected robbers and kidnappers at Yeji.
The police are on a manhunt for three members of the syndicates who operate at Yeji, Atebubu, Prang, Kintampo, Kwame Danso and sometimes in the Savannah Region.

The deceased have been identified as Ali Ruga alias Ali Muguyaro and Issaka Abubakar alias Kuriidor.
