On Sunday dawn, a Police Inspector Emmanuel Ashilevi, was shot in an attack carried out by a gang of six armed men who stormed the Kwabenya District Police Headquarters to free suspected armed robbers who were in custody.

Mr Ashilevi who sustained gunshot wounds in the process but unfortunately passed on whilst receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital.
Meanwhile, the Accra Regional Police Command has debunked information making the rounds on social media that “all suspects who absconded from lawful custody at Kwabenya Police Station have surrendered themselves to the Madina Police, apart from the Nigerian, who was involved in the robbery”.
In a release signed by Assistant Superintendent of Police, and copied to the Ghana News Agency said the Command strongly suspects that the said information was intended to divert the attention of the public from the ongoing pursuit.
It cautioned the general public especially the media against channelling unverified information on the social media space.
