The Bono Regional Police Command has launched a full-scale investigation into the brutal killing of two security guards working with ADRAS Timber Company and the burning of a vehicle at Mpamso Forest near Nsuhia in the Dormaa Central Municipality of the Bono Region.
According to a police statement signed by Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, Public Relations Officer of the Bono Regional Police Command, the incident occurred on October 26, 2025, when a group of about 200 suspected illegal chainsaw operators, armed with guns and machetes, attacked the guards at the timber concession site.
The complainant, identified as Ibrahim Issah, a 41-year-old security guard with the company, reported the attack to the police.
The deceased have been named as Sani Aliyu, aged 34, and Ibrahim Musa, aged 35. Both were reportedly killed during the violent assault.
Police officers who visited the scene found the two bodies lying approximately 100 meters apart, each with multiple gunshot wounds. A Toyota pickup truck with registration number GT 3079-17, belonging to the company, was also discovered burnt beyond repair.
The bodies of the deceased have since been conveyed to the Dormaa Presbyterian Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy.
The Bono Regional Police Command has intensified efforts to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice. It further cautioned the public against engaging in violent and unlawful activities, urging individuals and groups to resolve disputes through lawful and peaceful means.
Chief Inspector Akeelah reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to maintaining law and order and assured the public that every effort is being made to ensure that those responsible for the killings are held accountable.
