A Member of
Parliament’s Defense and Interior Committee, Peter Lanchene Toobu, believes
that a thorough investigation into the bullion van robbery at Ablekuma Fanmilk
in the Greater Accra Region, which led to the killing of a police officer, will
reveal important details about the incident.
He believes that
the CCTV footage if properly examined, will provide more information about the
robbery. <<
On Thursday, a
policeman was killed in a daylight robbery attack on a bullion van at Ablekuma
Fanmilk in Accra.
The police
officer was only identified as Amoah, according to his name tag.
Speaking to Citi
News, the Wa West MP, Mr. Toobu, said that there is more to the investigation
than meets the eye.
“The fact that
the vehicle reversed and then met the arrival of the robbers means that they
had been following them for some time. If you look at the way the robber shot
the officer dead, he looks like a properly trained person. The driver in the
van was not hurt, which suggests that it may have been an inside job, and I am
confident that the investigation will unravel this daylight robbery.”
“Under normal
circumstances, when a bullion van stops, the police officer is supposed to get
out of the van before anyone who is supposed to bring the cash to the truck
gets close to the van. The cash has to be escorted from the security room to
the truck. But in this scenario, you will realize that the cash was already
out. So after shooting the police officer, they had the opportunity to pick up
the cash from wherever it was,” he added.
