Police clarify Labone shootout, say syndicate planned attacks on three banks
The Ghana Police Service has clarified that Thursday’s security operation at Labone in Accra was triggered by intelligence about a planned robbery targeting three banks in the area.
The clarification follows an earlier statement from the Service which indicated that an attempted robbery at the GCB Bank Labone branch had been foiled, with two suspects killed and another arrested.
Augustine Okechuku Maazi remains in police custody and is assisting with investigations as the Service works to establish the full circumstances surrounding the planned robbery and identify other members of the suspected syndicate.
