After storming Ashaiman, a suburb in Accra on Tuesday over the death of young soldier, Imoro Sherrif, the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced the arrest of about 184 suspects.[ads2]
Personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 conducted a swoop in Ashaiman and its environs in a manhunt for some criminals, who were suspected to have stabbed and killed Imoro Sherrif on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
The deceased, according to a GAF statement, was stationed in Sunyani but was in Accra on a course and sought the permission to visit his parents at Ashaiman, where he grew up but was found dead in a pool of blood in the early hours of Saturday near Amania Hotel.[ads3]
According to GAF, the military operation was sanctioned by the Military High Command and was not to avenge the killing of the young soldier but rather to fish out perpetrators of the heinous crime.
Following the operation, the military personnel picked up about 184 suspects aged between 21 and 47 years old and have since been handed to the military police and subsequently be sent to the Ghana Police Service for screening and for further action.
GAF says during the course of the swoop, the Military personnel seized 29 slabs and 57 mini slabs of suspected indian hemps and amnesia among other forms of the narcotics.[ads4]
