When they realized they were police officers they tried shooting and my men also returned fire killing him on the spot”.<\/p>\n He explained that there have been series of robbery attacks on commuters especially in the last couple of days.<\/p>\n “Our intelligence gathered so far suggests that Nabu has been leading most of these attacks on innocent citizens in the last few weeks.”<\/p>\n The district commander further disclosed that, four other suspects linked to the crime have also been apprehended and transferred to the police regional headquarters in Wa for further investigations.<\/p>\n In another development, three persons believed to be in their early 30s were also lynched at Gbankor a community in the Nadowli-Kaleo district.<\/p>\n The three, yet-to-be identified, were killed after they reportedly attempted robbing a 48 year old man.<\/p>\n The Nadowli district police commander, ASP James Ankan, confirmed the incident, but said it is being investigated by the Upper west regional police CID.<\/p>\n Meanwhile Citi News<\/strong> can report that the deceased persons have been deposited at the Upper West regional hospital morgue.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By Mahama Latif\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A campaign team member of Dr. Francis Bawana Dakura, Member of Parliament for the Jirapa Constituency, has been identified among four suspected armed robbers killed in two separate incidents in the Upper West region.
