The Special Weapons Handling and Tactics (SWAT) Unit of the Ghana Police Service shot and killed two suspected Nigerians for attacking 82-year-old woman and damaging her house.
The suspects; Mr Nyi Pius and another unidentified man on Friday 1330 hours allegedly assaulted Hajia Memuna Kassim, the 82-year-old woman, at Wapanii in the Wa Municipality and started causing damage to her house at Block A, number 70, where the suspects were living.
Inspector Gideon Ohene Boateng, the Upper West Regional Public Relations Officer (PRO), who was briefing the Ghana News Agency, said the suspects also attacked the Police with mattocks, Jackknifes and daggers despite several warning shots to keep peace.
In the ensuing exchanges with the police officers, the suspects were shot at below belt, Inspector Boateng said, overpowering them, but when they were transported to the Hospital for treatment, unfortunately they were pronounced dead few hours after admission.
He said B.B live cartridges and packs of smoked wrapped leaves believed to be narcotic drugs were retrieved from the suspects and a hijab belonging to the landlady were found in the suspect’s room.
The Police called on relatives of the suspects to come for identification and collection of their dead bodies.
There has been growing highway robbery, assassinations and stealing including; other violent criminal activities in the Upper West Region, compelling shop owners and traders to close work earlier in the evening than before for the fear of being attacked.
Last month, Mr Richard Poulabong Bayiilela, National Democratic Congress Chairman for Daffiama-Bussie-Issa Constituency was killed by unknown gunmen, while early this month a suspected Burkinabe gunman was arrested in Hamile Catholic Church during Sunday mass service.

It serves the landlady right.these criminals pay more than Ghanaians so most of them want to collect huge sums as rent from these Nigerian criminals.They should be deported immediately
Are you serious, or do you think you're dreaming? Did you watch the news recently about the so-called Nigerian Legon English professor's antics? Who do you think asked him to spew all the n9nsense we heard him say in the video? Who asked him to teach for him in Ghana? And for those who were involved in kidnapping in Kumasi, were they not the organizers of the daring feat? Go out of this country towards North Africa and see how much Nigerians are hated for their involvement in criminality. Some are killed, so many others are in prisons. And in this, a lot of them carry our passports; no one told me, I saw them myself. Please love your country and be concerned when others leave their country to give us headache and nightmares. We have our own bad boys we have hard time dealing with, do you understand? WE can't add more.
Ghana Police did you just slain people because they were hold mattocks and knives? And you have the guts to ask their families to come for identification. This purely murder of innocent Nigerians. Would someone with common sense rise in Ghana and stop this malice before it degenerate into diplomatic rows with Nigeria?
where comes from the Handling?
Nab, we were in Ghana during the incompetent ones time when Fulani herdsmen killed Ghanaian farmers were you alive that time? we were in this country when Collins Dauda's brother Naaba killed Ghanaians where you living in Ghana? or some lives dont matter to the ndc everything in their lives is politics, that us the work of lazy people ! where you in Ghana when Nigerians attacked police men in Rambo style at Lapaz? in fact, when God curses you everything good seem bad and bad seem good to you and that is ndc ! very evil and wicked people and you will rot in opposition!
All Nigerians should leave the country immediately. We are sick of them and the mere mention of them makes me nauseous! We want all Ghanaians living in Nigeria to return home or relocate elsewhere. Why the hell will I even want in Nigeria? That failed country and terrible experiment of a democracy?
Where did you get those false data. What is your source that there are 7million Nigerias 🇳🇬 in Ghana 🇬� Stop your lies!
Why would you kill them for having a fight with their landlady? I can't think far! This requires investigation.
If the population of Ghana is 30million and statistically we have whooping 7million Nigerians in Ghana, then we are doomed. Just imagine some of them are married to Ghanaians too and they will have children. If care is not taken Ghana will soon have about 20 million Nigerians.
Anyone who thinks these things going on in the country has nothing to do with the incompetence of this administration is a huge fuuull. These Nigerian were in the country when the former administration was in power. Why didn't they get emboldened to do these barbaric things then but are now doing it. The answer is that, the former administration didn't allow political vigilantism to degenerate into impunity. The current administration allowed hoodlums too much leeway to misbehave and the rippling effect is why foreigners who are criminals are trooping into our country and also doing same. If delta and invisible forces activities were tamed, these nun sense would have been avoided. Interestingly, as we speak, the government is still integrating these criminals into the security services, which means the impudence will rather be worse. Look at what happened in ayawaso wogun. If party hoodlums will be dealt with when they are wrong the current spate of insecurity in the country will stop and foreigners will not have the chance to do what they are doing. Nana and barwumia are a mess.
