Mr Kwadwo Affram Asiedu, Deputy Minister of the Interior on Monday lauded an informant at Kwahu Tafo for assisting the Police to arrest armed robbers.
A statement from the Ministry of the Interior said the informant’s role was worthy of emulation by Ghanaians and emphasised the fact that Ghanaians could play their role by furnishing the Police with intelligent information on the movements of suspicious persons in their vicinities.
According to the minister the informant hinted the Police about three men, who came into a drinking bar looking suspicious and one of them on reaching out to take money from his pocket mistakenly exposed a pistol tucked in his pocket.
The statement said the informant on seeing the pistol, sneaked out to the Kwahu Tafo Police and informed them about the suspicious behaviour of the three men, who were arrested. The armed robbers were later identified by victims of previous armed robberies and were currently being processed for trial.
The Minister has directed the Police at Kwahu Tafo and Nkwatia to give the informant special protection since his shop at Kwahu Nkawtia had been burgled after the incident and his life had been threatened.
