Image
The Graduate Students' Association of Ghana (GRASAG) has announced its intention to join forces with the Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference in a nationwide protest against illegal mining activities, commonly known as galamsey, and what they describe as worsening governance in the country. The protest, scheduled for October 11, 2024, is expected to draw significant attention to the environmental degradation caused by galamsey and the perceived lapses in leadership in addressing the issue. The Catholic Bishops have been vocal in their criticisms of illegal mining, which has devastated large portions of Ghana’s forests, farmlands, and water bodies. They argue that despite various government initiatives to combat galamsey, the issue persists, posing a serious threat to the environment and livelihoods across the country. GRASAG, representing the voices of Ghana’s graduate students, has expressed concerns about the future of the nation, particularly in the areas of environmental cons

Ablekuma Billion Van Robbery: Amanda Amoah, Wife Of The Unlived Policeman Now A Police Officer

Published from Blogger Prime Android App

The wife of the police officer who was killed in the Ablekuma Bullion Van Robbery has graduated from the Ghana Police Training School in Accra.

Amanda Amoah, the grieving wife of Callistus Amoah, the young police officer who was killed during a bullion van robbery in Ablekuma graduated from Ghana Police Training School on Friday, 3rd May 2024.

Amanda Amoah, a nurse by profession, celebrated this achievement as she graduated from the Ghana Police Training School.

On Thursday, June 22, 2023, the peace of Ablekuma, a suburb of Accra, was shattered when armed men attacked a bullion van. The van, accompanied by Amanda’s husband providing escort, fell victim to the ambush. The officer confronted the assailants but tragically got shot severally

The Ghana Police Service, by IGP Akufo Dampare, immediately initiated a search for the four armed men responsible for this crime. Despite the loss of one of their own, the police force vowed to pursue justice relentlessly. They extended heartfelt condolences to Amanda and her family, promising unwavering support during this difficult time.

Consequently, the suspects, who were four in number were arrested. The Ghana Police Service made this announcement on Sunday, July 16, 2023, revealing that one of the suspects was arrested the day prior, on Saturday, July 15, 2023.

In a statement, the police assured the public that more information regarding the case would be provided in due course.

The swift collaboration between the Ghana Police Service and Togo Interpol played a crucial role in the capture of the third suspect, Blessing Njoma.

The incident unfolded when the bullion van paused at a fuel station, presumably for refuelling. Looking at the vulnerable moment, the robbers seized the opportunity to strike. While it remains unclear whether the assailants made off with any money, footage circulating on social media showed that the robbers ran away after shooting the police officer.

Following this tragic incident, several concerns were raised regarding the security protocols surrounding the transportation of money by financial institutions.
The Ghana Police Service has emphasised the need for massive protection for its personnel and advocated for the use of fortified bullion vans for cash transit.

At the pre-burial of the late soldier, his widow, who is now a police officer, read out her tribute, where she almost collapsed in front of the IGP George Akuffo Dampare.

Reading her tribute, she highlighted some good memories they shared before his sudden demise.
