Awudu Imoro, father of a 21-year-old soldier, Sheriff Imoro, who was killed at Ashaiman, has expressed delight at the arrest of six suspects.

According to him, the arrest has brought them some relief and hope that their son’s killers will not get away with their gruesome act.

Mr Imoro was speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem.

“We are happy at the efforts of the police in arresting the suspects and we look forward to what will happen next,” he said.

The Police on Sunday announced the arrest of six suspects in connection with Sheriff’s death.

The arrest, they noted, was after almost a week of painstaking intelligence-led operations during which the suspects were arrested at various locations at Ashaiman.
