The suspects
The Volta Regional Police Command
has arrested five people including an evangelist in connection with a robbery
attack at a petrol station at Peki-Wodome in the Volta Region last Wednesday.
The five
persons — Felix Dupe alias Gbaga, a 31-year-old evangelist; Godfred Alorvordzi
alias Azagua, a 45-year-old trader; Raphael Agbo alias Aklikor, a 33-year-old
driver; Edem Fiati, 28, alias Harder, an electrician; and Adzaho Evans, 29,
owner of the Opel taxi cab used for the robbery — are suspected to have raided
Kings Oil Filling Station.
The Volta Regional Police
Commander, DCOP Edward Oduro Kwarteng, said in a statement that the suspects
were picked up in the early hours of Thursday.
He said the National Police
Control room received a distress call about the incident and swiftly deployed officers
to the scene and with the support of the Peki-Wodome Neighbourhood Watch
Committee, three of the suspects were arrested.
Preliminary interrogations
revealed that there were six other persons including one Pablo (currently at
large) involved and according to the police, Pablo who is a former worker of
the filling station appears to have masterminded the robbery.
He said Pablo is suspected to
have told his accomplices that the back door of the filling station was weak
and could easily be broken into and based on that vital information, the gang attacked
the place.
About GH¢2,211 and other valuables
were taken by the suspects and further investigations revealed that Edem Fiati
and Felix Dupe (the evangelist) are already standing
trial in another robbery incident within the Ho municipality.
“The command wishes to express
its appreciation for the excellent collaboration between the police and the
Peki-Wodome Neighborhood Watch Committee and entreat other communities within
the region to form similar groups to assist the police, as crime fighting is a
shared responsibility,” the Regional Commander said.
