ACCRA, GHANA – The Aflao District Police Command has successfully apprehended Blessing Njoma, a key suspect involved in the notorious Ablekuma Fun Milk bullion van robbery, which tragically resulted in the death of a police escort.
In a joint operation, the Ghana Police Service and Togo Interpol collaborated to arrest the suspect, a Nigerian, at the Asigame market in Lome, the capital city of Togo.
This arrest marks a significant breakthrough in the investigation, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to three, as they face grave charges related to the heinous crime.
The Ablekuma Fun Milk bullion van robbery occurred on June 14, 2023, during which Lance Corporal Callistus Amoah valiantly lost his life while escorting the vehicle.
