  "account": "The Accra Regional Police Command recovered an AK-47 assault rifle and 186 rounds of ammunition after a gunfight with suspected armed robbers near Agbogbloshie in the Ablekuma Central Municipality on Thursday, September 10. Intelligence had led them to believe four armed men were heading towards the Shell Filling Station for a robbery. A police team intercepted the suspects at the Galoway Police Barrier, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. One suspect was fatally shot, while the others fled the scene. The deceased suspect was found with the AK-47, which had a double magazine containing 136 rounds, and an additional 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition were also recovered. The injured suspect was taken to the Police Hospital but died upon arrival. He was identified through his AK-47 rifle with serial number 79-HF3014 and has been taken to the mortuary for autopsy. Police seized two unregistered motorbikes, a Royal and an Apsonic, as well as the firearm and ammunition, which will be used as evidence. The investigation is ongoing to identify and apprehend the three suspects who escaped, and to uncover the details of the robbery operation.",
