Killing of soldier at Kasoa: The suspect obviously did not act alone – Bonaa

The suspect who has been arrested by the Police in connection with the killing of a soldier at Kasoa over a land dispute obviously did not act alone, a Security Expert, Dr Adam Bonaa has said.

The suspect, Benlord Ababio is currently in police custody assisting with investigations.

The Police in a statement announcing the arrest of the suspect said its preliminary investigation has established that the suspect allegedly shot the soldier at about 4:20 pm on Tuesday, April 30.

Dr Adam Bonaa after describing the killers of the military officer at Kasoa as hardened criminals said “I think that apart from the suspect who murdered in cold blood this military officer, obviously, he didn’t work alone, he worked with other people. If you know the way these land guards operate, they operate like terrorists, they come fully armed and terrorize everybody.”

“…For them to shoot in the full glare of the police means that these are hardened criminals,” he said on Wednesday, May 1.
