According to Eric Aggrey Quarshie, public relations officer for the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), there are some areas in Ashaiman where police cannot arrest suspected criminals.
Speaking at the Institute of Public Relations Annual General Meeting and the National Public Relations and Communications Summit, he explained that there have been many vices in Ashaiman, but the killing of Sheriff Imoro was the final straw.
“Whatever happened in Ashaiman was not something that somebody woke up one morning and said let us go to Asahiman, so many things are happening, and our soldier dying became like the last straw that broke the camel’s back,” he said.
“Ashaiman, there are still sections that the Police cannot go and effect an arrest, they won’t dare. Somebody commits a crime and you can’t go there to even arrest the person and so we were tracking the event,” he added.
The police launched an operation and arrested six persons at different dates and at various locations within Ashaiman and its environs after the murder of Imoro Sherrif.
Two other suspects, Samuel Tetteh alias Wiper and Abubakar Sadick alias Birdman were arrested at their hideouts on March 10, 2023.
Two additional suspects, Yussif Mohammed, and Abdul Gafaru Abdul Karim were arrested on March 11 and 12, 2023, respectively.
