Shots suddenly rang out into the deceased after which his attackers sped off. The Constable fell off and into a nearby gutter.
Minutes after the incident occurred, some police officers who were also on duty at Tulaku Old Barrier checkpoint, called their colleagues at Tema to report the incident.
Inspection on the deceased body showed multiple of gun wounds on the chest and eyebrow. One AK47 rifle, one pepper spray, a pair of handcuffs and a torch light were found with deceased.
The body has been deposited at the Police Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

We must ***barred word*** all the Nigerian guys
The policemen are too corrupt. There is soo much enmity towards the security officers.
THOUGH NO ONE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO TAKE ANOTHER MANS LIFE,ITS TIME OUR UNIFORM MEN ESPECIALLY THE POLICE TO BEGIN DISCHARGING THEIR DUTIES PROFESSIONALLY. THIS IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES THESE POLICE MEN ON DUTY WILL ARREST YOU FOR MINOR OFFENCE AND TREAT YOU LIKE A MURDERER AFTERWARDS TAKES BRIBE FROM YOU.AFTER WASTING ALL YOUR TIME AND MALTREATING YOU.SOME PEOPLE ARE BITTER AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE EMPLOYING WICKED WAYS OF PAYING BACK.WHICH MUST BE CONDEMED BY ALL.
People like Capo should be arrested immediately. There's a serious national challenge and you politicize it. There's credible information that there's serious in-fighting within the security forces in this country and they even set hitmen on one another! The government must sit up and flush out all miscreants in the service.
When we have ***barred word*** and Low minded people like capo, how will Ghana develop. How can you relate Armed robbery case to politics. So NDC Hired the Armed robbers to Kill the Police man Right?? ***barred word*** boy
