Intelligence had informed the police of a planned robbery by four armed men on two motorbikes targeting a Shell filling station. A team from the Accra Regional Police Intelligence and Professional Standards Directorate, assisted by the Operational Unit, confronted the suspects at the Galoway Police Barrier. The confrontation escalated into gunfire, resulting in the death of one suspect and the escape of the others. The deceased suspect was found to be carrying an AK-47 rifle, serial number 79-HF-3014, fitted with a double magazine containing 136 rounds of ammunition, along with 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition. He was rushed to the Police Hospital but succumbed to his injuries. The body has been turned over to the Police Hospital mortuary for identification and autopsy.
