The remains of the two police officers from the Anti-Robbery Taskforce who died on Thursday 21 October in an accident along the Walewale-Bolgatanga road have been airlifted to Accra.
The Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, was among senior officers of the Police Service who witnessed a special parade ceremony at Tamale Airport on Friday (22 October) as the bodies were flown from the North to the capital.
The two officers were in a five-member team responding to reports of a robbery incident on the highway, but died on the spot in a road crash.
The three other officers in the team are in critical condition and have also been airlifted to Accra “for further medical care”, a police statement said.
Thanking the Armed Forces
The members of the police management board have also visited the families of the two officers who died in the road crash to commiserate with them.
“The police administration wishes to thank the Ghana Armed Forces, particularly the Chief of Defence Staff, Vice-Admiral Seth Amoama, and the Chief of Air Staff, Vice-Marshall Frank Hanson, for their collaborative efforts in airlifting the injured personnel,” the police statement said.
