The Ashaiman Circuit Court has refused bail to six suspects detained for their alleged participation in the assassination of soldier Imoro Sheriff.
On Monday, March 13, they were denied bail after Prosecutor Supt. Sylvester Asare told the court that granting them bail would interfere with investigations.
In a statement made on March 12, police described the following events:
“On March 4, 2023, police received information that a male adult had been found dead at Ashiaman Taifa in the Greater Accra Region.
“A team of police officers went to the location and confirmed the incident.
“Police quickly initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the victim. Officers cordoned off the area and summoned the Police Crime Scene Unit to process the scene for forensic analysis.
“The Crime Scene Team recovered a number of items, including a blood-stained knife and a backpack.
Police discovered a Samsung tablet, an Apple laptop, a military uniform with the name tag “Imoro,” 8 additional items of clothes, a Ghana card, and a Health Insurance card with the name Imoro Sherrif in the backpack.
