Police have arrested two suspects in connection with alleged stolen rail tracks and steel sleepers believed to belong to the Ghana Railway Development Authority.
The alleged stolen rail tracks and steel sleepers have gone viral on social media after three DAF trucks were seen carrying the alleged stolen tracks.
The suspects, Ibrahim John and Bashiru Ibrahim, were arrested while transporting the said items to Ferro Frabrik Limited’s yard in Tema.
The police tweeted that the suspects said their company had been contracted by the Ministry of Railway Development to cart the exhibit items to Tema.
According to the police, officials of the company who were not met at the premises of the company have been asked to report to the police on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, to assist in the investigation.
The Police further indicated that contact has also been made with the Ministry of Railway Development, and officials of the Ministry are also expected to report to the Police to support the investigation.
