A man by name Hakimi has been killed by the police after he pursued three persons he had threatened to kill to the Kwabenya Hills Valley Police Station and stabbed the station officer and the investigator on duty.
The incident happened on Friday, January 28.
According to police preliminary investigations, the suspect had attacked the three persons, who sought refuge at the police station for fear of their lives.
But the suspect pursued them to the police station with a knife.
Not budging from spewing the threats, he stabbed the station officer and the investigator multiple times.
“Sensing that the lives of the Station Officer, the investigator and the three victims were in immediate danger, the police shot and killed the suspect,” a press release from the Ghana Police Service on Saturday said.
While the injured officers are responding to treatment at the Police Hospital, the body of the deceased has been deposited at the Hospital’s morgue for preservation.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, has since visited the station to encourage officers.
He also commended the injured station officer for providing protection for the three at the peril of his life.
“The Police Administration is warning people who have a penchant for attacking police stations that they should be prepared to face the full wrath of the law,” the released signed by ACP Kwesi Ofori, the Director-General of Public Affairs of the Service, concluded.
