The armed robbers took 8,000cedis from the secretary’s office and headed into a room where much larger amounts were being counted and stole the cash.

Sources say the police did not inform any police station when he encountered the robbers.

The armed robbers escaped after snatching a car.
A highly-placed police source has confirmed the officer is under interrogation but not under arrest.

The Police Service has assured the public it is ready to protect citizens even if it costs its officers their lives.
