A Twenty-Six year-old Nigerian, Uchenna Chuku, is in the grips of the Police in the Nanumba North District of the Northern Region for suspected robbery.

The suspect, according to the police, went to Damanko in the Nkwanta South District of the Volta Region on the 26th of April 2018, and hired a motorbike to Wulensi in the Nanumba South District.

When the suspect picked the phone and was on his way back to the motorbike, he brought out a pistol and shot the back of the rider.

ASP Ebenezer Kusi-Pepra said further checks in the suspect’s room revealed a locally manufactured pistol, one live BB cartridge and one used one.

The victim, who survived the attack and later made a report to the police, provided documents to prove ownership of the motorbike, and also identified the suspect.
