The Bono East Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects for illegal possession of weapons and impersonation.
They have been identified as Kobina Domanle, 47 years, security personnel of a Gaza security, Dzahile Kofi Anoumou Delali, alias Mark, a dealer in cashew nut.
Police sources indicate one of the suspects, Dzahile Kofi Anoumou Delali, hired a truck driver to cart his cashew nuts from Fiamah in the Nkoranza District to Jama, near Techiman on a Police escort.
However, the truck driver became suspicious after they met Prosper Kwame Boaho, the supposed officer for the escort with a pump-action gun at Tamale station, Techiman, where he was to pick him for the trip.
Police were immediately alerted, and the suspect was arrested with the pump-action gun and 22 BB live cartridges.
“Investigations reveal that suspect is a self-styled security supervisor of ‘Gaza security’ which does not exist. However, he had employed Kobina Domale as a security officer at Vziit Cashew Company at Jama near Techiman, and Mark, the cashew nut dealer, as the owner of the gun,” a statement, signed by the Regional PRO ASP/Mr Amponsie Bosie Dankwa, read.
A third suspect, Kobina Domale, was arrested with a locally manufactured single barrel gun with seven BB cartridges at his duty post.
