THE BURKINABE national, Osman Bani, who together with his accomplice allegedly killed a police officer, Corporal Yaw Lokpao, at Sawla in the Northern Region, bolted and was arrested by the Brong-Ahafo police at Ayimana, a suburb of Techiman, has been transferred to the region to face the law.
According to the regional police, the suspect who was originally known as Sani, was later found to be bearing the name Osman Bani and claims to be a Burkinabe. Acting upon a tip-off, the police went to his hideout at Ayimana and asked his two Ghanaian wives to call him for them, and he was subsequently arrested.
The police said Osman, who was heard speaking Twi with one of his wives inside a room before his arrest, pretended he did not understand the (Twi) language when he was being interrogated.
The Brong-Ahafo Regional Police Commander, DCOP Maxwell Atingane, said the region would not serve as a safe haven for criminals and so the law enforcement agents would always go after supposed criminals. He commended members of the public for volunteering information and encouraged them to do more to help the police clamp down on criminals.
