Twelve suspects arrested in connection with the killing of a police officer at the Kwabenya police station will today January 30, 2018, stand trial at an Accra Circuit court.
The 12 suspects were arraigned before an Accra Circuit Court one presided over by His Honour Aboagye Tandoh on January 29, 2018, but the case was adjourned due to the unavailability of the judge.
The twelve suspects according to the police service played various roles in the jailbreak and killing of Inspector Emmanuel Ashilevi at the Kwabenya police post.
The Ghana Police Service on Saturday, January 27 picked up the main suspect believed to have shot the Police officer at the Kwabenya police post in Accra.
The attack on the Police station led to the escape of seven suspects. Police have since arrested 12 suspects after the incident.
The latest arrest of five fugitives during the weekend adds to the already six persons who were picked by the police last week. The five include Kofi Sheshie, 28, who officials say is the killer of Inspector Ashilevi.
The other suspects arrested last weekend are Sarbah George, 23; George Asante, 33; Theophilus Banda, 25 and 31-year-old Elvis Asante.
According to Police PRO ACP David Eklu, “the five suspects were arrested by the Accra Police Command at Kasoa in the early hours of Saturday, 27th January 2018.â€
Police say the six (6) persons who were arrested earlier this week had three (3) re-arrested fugitives from the Kwabenya Police cells and three accomplices who aided the attack and the jailbreak.
