The leadership of GBA had said there was an increasing spate of armed robbery and other violent crimes in the country following the killing of one of its members, Richard Badombie, by armed men in the Savannah Region Saturday, May 28, 2022.
The lawyer was shot dead when the occupants of a Hyundai Accent saloon car with registration number GN 9890-17 were attacked between Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri.
Meanwhile, three suspects, including Benin and Mali nationals, have been arrested by the Savannah Regional Police Patrol team in connection with the murder of a lawyer on the Bole-Bamboi road over the weekend.
The suspects who were arrested on May 29, 2022 are currently in Police custody, assisting with investigations.
According to Police sources, one of the suspects whose name has been withheld is a foreigner and a casual worker at the Bole Cocoa Research Centre.
The Savannah Regional Police Command says the suspects were rounded up in their hideout with two others still on the run.
