The Western Regional Police Command has arrested five suspects in connection with the robbery and murder of 40-year-old gold buyer Seth Kobina at Agona Fie near Agona Nkwanta.
Kobina was shot in the chest during a robbery at his gold-buying shop on August 20 and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Agona Nkwanta Hospital.
Police investigations and CCTV footage identified Emmanuel Amponsah alias “Vandam” as the alleged leader. He was arrested the following day but later died after being rushed to the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital.
Four other suspects have since been arrested, with locally manufactured pistols, ammunition, cutlasses and other items recovered. Police say the suspects are assisting with investigations as efforts continue to arrest other accomplices.
