Three persons have been arrested by the police for stealing an unspecified amount of money from a former member of the council of state, Madam Ama Busia.
The suspects are alleged to have stolen huge sums of monies in different currencies from Ama Busia’s house at Abelemkpe on March 22 this year.
Addressing the media, the Accra Regional Police Commander DCOP Christian Tetteh Yohuno stated the suspects will soon be placed before the court.
He said “the two suspects, Godsway and Bright in the company of the third accomplice, presently serving a 25 year term, called at the gate of the complainant who was then at church to come and work on the roofing”.
“Not verifying the authenticity of that information, the house boy ignorantly opened the gate and allowed the three suspects into the house. Upon gaining access into the house, they threatened the occupants with knives and marched them to the room of the complainants where they made away with unspecified amount of money in different currencies. The two went into hiding in Nigeria after the arrest of the first suspect, Paul Afari, but due to the cooperation between the two countries, the Nigeria became hostile to them where they had no option than to run back to Ghana and hide in Hohoe,” he stated.
DCOP Christian Tetteh Yohuno advised household employers to be vigilant and security conscious when employing household staff since “the police has observed that most successful robbery operations are often committed with the assistance of insiders especially cooks, babysitters, drivers, care takers, gardeners etc.”
