Girlfriends Invoke Juju On Police Chief

Two women believed to be girlfriends of armed robbers at the weekend, consulted a ''Mallam'' to deal with the Greater Accra Regional Commander, ACP Kofi Boakye. The women had sent a list, which had the name of ACP Boakye and that of suspected armed robbers currently in Police custody to the Mallam.

They also had in their possession, a newspaper cutting of two of the most wanted armed robbers, who were arrested in 1999 following their involvement in an armed robbery at Tema.

Greater Accra Regional Crime Officer, Bright Oduro, told the GNA that on Saturday Police tailed one Erica, a girlfriend of Ataa Ayi, a notorious armed robber now at large and Becky, the girlfriend of "Old School," a convicted armed robber.

Mr Oduro said the two ladies, who were in a taxicab, went to the Mallam’s cottage. They then brought out the pictures and the list containing the names of robbers in Police custody and that of the Regional Commander. They were arrested but could not give any tangible reason why they had those pictures and the list of names," he said. Police investigations are continuing.
