The Northern Regional Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police Angwubutoge Awuni, is offering a handsome ransom to anyone who would volunteer information to the police leading to the arrest of Johnson Kombia, a suspected hardened criminal in the region.
He has also ordered the police to get him dead or alive due to the cruelty of his operations.
Mr Awuni gave the order at Nakpanduri in the Bunkrugu/Yonyo District during a tour of all the district’s police stations.
The tour was to enable him to assess the security situation in the area and interact with the police officers.
The commander toured Walewale, Gambaga, Nalerigu and Nakpanduri police stations and called for the cooperation of the chiefs in the fight against crime.
Kombia is said to be using an AK47 rifle, suspected to have been stolen from the police, and using it in robbing and threatening lives of residents in and around Nakpanduri, Nalerigu and Bunkurugu.
He recently robbed and killed three people and injured several others in the area.
Police Corporal Eric Obbo of the Nakpanduri Police Station said Kombia once stood at a distance and fired at the police station and bolted but fortunately nobody was hurt.
He said anytime the police got information about his whereabouts he disappeared immediately the police got close to him.
Corporal Obbo said they had been informed by residents that Kombia openly held his AK47 rifle at market places.
In a related development, Sule Abdul-Karim and Adams Imoro, Municipal Chief Executive for Walewale and District Chief Executive for East Mumprusi respectively, have pledged to support the police in their districts to renovate their residential and official facilities.
This was as a result of Mr Awuni’s interaction with them about the poor residential facilities of the police.
He has also ordered the police to get him dead or alive due to the cruelty of his operations.
