Two police men have been interdicted for failing to rescue their colleague when he came under attack by some youth in the Kumawu area of the Ashanti Region last Friday.

Constable Isaac Boiatey and Constable Evans Owusu were on duty with Corporal Sylvester Berhene at the Won Akotosu snap checkpoint near Kumawu in the Ashanti Region last Friday.

Corporal Berhene came under attack in the line of duty and so the two policemen who were on duty with him have been interdicted for their seeming failure to rescue their colleague, subdue the attackers and get them arrested.

They have therefore been referred to the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) for investigation into their professional conduct.

The Director of Police Public Affairs, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Grace Ansah-Akrofi made the interdiction known in a press statement issued Sunday morning (April 9, 2023).

Meanwhile, a sixth suspect has been arrested to bring the total suspects in police custody to six.

A seventh suspect is still on the run.
