The Police on Saturday, September 25, 2021, shot two suspected armed robbers who later died on admission at the hospital.
The deceased armed robbers are Joseph Dagodzo, and Mujahid Abubakar, alias Sule.
Police intelligence led to the arrest of Bukari Salifu, their said financier and supplier of weapons.
The 65-year-old suspected illegal arms dealer was arrested at Zenu near Ashaiman.
The Police say the deceased suspects were arrested when they attempted to rob motorists along the Koluedor-Sege-Accra main road.
During interrogation, they mentioned Bukari Salifu as the one who provides them with weapons for their robbery expeditions.
Under the pretext of aiding the Police to retrieve some weapons and assist in arresting their other accomplices, who had escaped from the scene, the two deceased suspects led the crime-combat Police team to the purported hideout of the accomplices in a bush near Zenu.
There, the Police came under fire as the suspects attempted to escape.
According to the Police the team was a highly trained crime-combat team and were rushed to the Police Hospital where they died.
The bodies have been deposited at the Police Morgue.
A blow F9-22 Pistol and a locally manufactured pistol and two motorbikes have been retrieved by the Police.
