\n

Eric Kojo Duah<\/strong><\/p>\n

The one-storey
\nhouse of Eric Kojo Duah, the main suspected killer of two cops last week, is
\nnow under lock and key.<\/p>\n

An eerie silence
\nhas enveloped the house as though now peopled by ghosts.<\/p>\n

The house
\noccupied by the \u2018killer\u2019s\u2019 late mother Elizabeth Boateng, until her death, was
\nwhere Eric Kojo Duah lived until his residency was moved to the cells of the
\nBureau of National Investigations (BNI) and now in prison custody under remand.<\/p>\n

Neighbours are
\nvisibly avoiding any interaction with persons they think are media persons
\nbecause they might not like to be associated with the ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n

Probe Order <\/strong><\/p>\n

The acting Inspector
\nGeneral of Police (IGP) James Oppong-Boanuh, in the light of the flurry of
\ncharges being levelled against some police officers in Kasoa, some of which appear
\n\u2018repugnant\u2019 to the integrity of policing, has ordered a probe.<\/p>\n

A news release
\noriginating from the Director General of the Police Public Affairs Directorate yesterday
\nstated that the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) and the Police
\nIntelligence Department (PID) have been charged \u201cto investigate reports
\nconcerning conduct of police officers related to the shooting incident at
\nBudumburam, leading to the death of the two officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The release said,
\n\u201cThe Director Generals of PPSB and PID are to submit their investigation
\nreports to the IGP (Ag) in three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police have also
\nasked the media \u201cto be circumspect in their commentary and channel any relevant
\ninformation to the police to assist in the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The release encouraged
\nthe public to volunteer information that would be valuable to the investigating
\nbureau.<\/p>\n

Fear Grips Bad Cops<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police officers
\nwith skeletons in their cupboards are said to have been gripped with apprehension
\nabout the development.<\/p>\n

With the
\ncontribution of members of the public who know too much about the \u2018unwholesome\u2019
\noperations of some cops in the Kasoa area, the IGP\u2019s order is no laughing
\nmatter.<\/p>\n

Osu Police Station<\/strong><\/p>\n

DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> can confirm that three of the suspects arrested a few hours after
\nthe shooting incident were detained at the Osu Police Station until Monday
\nmorning when were they moved away from the location. <\/p>\n

Unconfirmed
\ninformation has it that the wife of the suspected killer has been arrested,
\nhaving left her original abode at Budumburam.<\/p>\n

A Joy
\nNews<\/em><\/strong> report in their latest bulletin yesterday pointed out that a
\ntelltale police uniform was found on a drying line at Eric\u2019s house. <\/p>\n

Wild Rumours<\/strong><\/p>\n

With speculations
\nrife about a cordial relationship existing between the suspect and the police
\nin Kasoa, a rumour which is now a subject of an IGP-directed investigation, the
\nownership of the uniform would offer an important ingredient for the
\ninvestigators.<\/p>\n

With all the
\nsuspects now formally charged with a total of four counts of conspiracy,
\nabetment and murder, all is now set for the commencement of the appropriate
\nadjudication in a case which touched the hearts of most Ghanaians. <\/p>\n

Accused Persons<\/strong><\/p>\n

The accused
\npersons include Eric Kojo Duah, Isaac Amissah, Ibrahim Zakaria, Isaac Mensa,
\nOblitey Commey, Victor Yire and Fatawu Ahmed.<\/p>\n

They stand
\naccused of allegedly shooting and killing Sgt. Michael Dzamesi, a service
\ndriver, and L\/Cpl. Awal Mohammed at a place called Big Apple, near Budumburam,
\nKasoa.<\/p>\n

The deceased
\npolicemen were personnel of the Motor Transport and Traffic Department (MTTD)
\ndetachment at Kasoa, and their deaths have sparked public outrage.<\/p>\n

They were brought
\nbefore court, presided over by Rosemond Doodua Agyiri, on Monday.<\/p>\n

Given that the
\ncourt did not have the jurisdiction to trial murder cases and only expected to
\ndo a pre-trial committal, the plea of the accused persons were not taken.<\/p>\n

The facts of the
\ncase were also not read and the accused persons were not represented by any
\nlawyer.<\/p>\n

Array of Narrations<\/strong><\/p>\n

The array of
\nnarrations of what happened on the day of the incident continue to make it to
\nthe media, the latest being about how one of the suspects, Ibrahim Zakariah,
\nresponded to Eric Duah\u2019s SOS call that his car was being snatched from him. It
\nwas a fateful moment as he ended up being rounded up as a suspect in the case.<\/p>\n

The case has been
\nadjourned to September 26, 2019. <\/p>\n

Suspect\u2019s Church Rattled<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Strong Living
\nFire Church, the suspect\u2019s mother\u2019s worship facility, is now a cynosure of all
\neyesin Dansoman, Accra, where it is
\nlocated with passers-by taking glimpses of the place and neighbours engaged in
\nendless gossips about the late Mama Lizy\u2019s son who has hit the news for the
\nwrong reasons.<\/p>\n

Although the custodians of the church have sought to distance the suspect\u2019s seeming deviant character from his late mother, the coming days would turn in more and interesting details about Eric Duah and his escapades in Kasoa.<\/p>\n
