The Inspector General of Police David Asante Apeatu has placed a 10, 000 Ghana cedis bounty on the two armed robbers who shot and killed a Police officer at Lapaz in Accra Thursday afternoon.
The robbers who were on an unlicensed motorbike escaping after a robbery operation around Ashanti Home Touch at Lapaz were confronted by two police officers on patrol duties.
The robbers opened fire on the police officers killing one instantly. The other Police officer escaped with gun shots wounds to his hand.
To facilitate their movement, the two robbers abandoned their motorbike, snatched an unregistered Ash Hyundai Elantra saloon vehicle in broad day light and sped off towards the Mallam junction direction.
Addressing the Press Friday, the IGP called on Ghanaians to help the Police with vital information to ensure that the robbers are arrested.
He added that 10,000 Ghana cedis has been set aside to reward anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of the thugs.
