Two highway robbery suspects on the wanted list of the Savannah Regional Police Command have been apprehended.
They were apprehended in Tuna in the Sawla Tuna Kalba District in the early hours of Monday, June 6, 2022.
The accused, Amidu Salifu, 30, and Mumuni Sambo, 32, are now being held in police custody in Tuna, aiding with the investigation.
Meanwhile, Jibrilli Sahado, a third suspect, is on the run.
When JoyNews called the Savannah Regional Police Command's Public Affairs Department, they declined to comment on the arrest.
According to JoyNews' investigations in Tuna, a man and his wife, whose identities have been concealed, were allegedly ambushed at gunpoint by three unidentified individuals along the Tuna Kalba road two weeks ago, and all three were killed.
Their goods were seized, including a smartphone.
The insider went on to say that a few weeks after the crime, a young man with no name went to town with a smartphone in his hand, searching for help to operate it. He happened to run into the victim of the robbery, who recognized the phone as his.
The phone owner questioned the young man "where he got the phone he was carrying from, and he answered his father gave it to him," according to the source. As a result, the phone owner (robbery victim) and the young guy holding the phone proceeded to his father, who also claimed to have purchased the phone from Mumuni Sambo.
"The young man, his father, and the phone owner went to Mumuni Sambo's residence and "When the people arrived at his residence, he acknowledged to being the one who sold the phone, stating it was provided to him by Jibrilli Sahado, but Jibrilli Sahado escaped via a window before the people arrived," the source said.
Meanwhile, a police source in the Sawla Tuna Kalba District said that suspect Sahado is one among four members of an armed robbery gang who have been terrorizing travelers on the Bole Bamboi Wa highway.
