Four suspects detained in connection with security guard’s killing at Ojobi factory

Police in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region have arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of a private security guard at Ojobi.

The victim, 65-year-old Alexander Kwaku Boateng, was found dead on June 30 at the premises of a One-District-One-Factory (1D1F) project. His head was wrapped in a plastic bag, suggesting he was suffocated.

His hands and legs were also tied.

Police investigations revealed that the electricity transformer at the site had been tampered with, and its interior components, along with cables worth GHS 250,000.00, had been stolen.

An intelligence-led operation by the Gomoa Ojobi District Police Command led to the arrest of four individuals:

Samuel Larbie, a 28-year-old businessman

Wisdom Sosu, a 32-year-old motor mechanic

Nabil Mohammed

Mahmoud Kadir

According to police, Larbie and Sosu are the main suspects in the murder, while Mohammed and Kadir are alleged to have purchased stolen items, including the deceased’s Infinix Smart 8 phone valued at GHS 1,800.00.

Police say four additional suspects remain at large and are currently being pursued.
