-

The Bono Regional Police Command has arrested seven persons believed to be responsible for the registration-related offence that led to the death of a teacher training graduate.

The 28-year-old Silas Wulochamey met his death on July 3 when he was stabbed in the back by some men at Banda Kabrono upon returning from a visit to his pastor at Wenchi.

Public Relations Officer for Police in the Bono Region, Chief Inspector Augustine Kingsley Oppong, confirming to Adom News, said the arrest of the seven suspects came at the back of police intelligence and investigations.

Police officials say details of the suspects and how they were picked up will be communicated to the public as soon as possible.

His death is a case of mistaken identity which happened at a voters’ registration centre following an altercation between some supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and opposition National Democratic Congress.
