Nima clash: 2 more suspects arrested

Crime
A total of nine suspects have been arrested so far

Two more suspects have been arrested by the police in connection with the violence that erupted at Nima a few days ago.

The two were arrested at Ashalaja near Amasaman in Accra.

Speaking at a press conference held on Wednesday, 19 January 2022, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, ACP Kwesi Ofori, said: “So far, we’ve arrested nine people”.

“Today [Wednesday, 19, 2022], two people were arrested at Ashalaja, where they decided to go.”

Weapons including unregistered motorbikes, a pump-action gun and a set of security uniforms were retrieved during the arrest.

The two are currently in the custody of the police assisting with investigations.

Nima witnessed gangsterism and mass violence around 3.30 pm on Tuesday, 18 January 2022 when two rival groups led respectively by Kumordzi, alias Ibrahim Hussein; and Bombom, alias Ali Awudu, who have always disagreed on issues, went all out on the streets of Nima.

Meanwhile, the police administration has set aside a GHS20,000 reward for information that will lead to the arrest of the leaders of the two rival gangs behind the mass violence.

“Any member of the public who offers credible information that leads to their arrest will be given that amount. GHS20,000 has been placed on their heads,” ACP Kwesi Ofori said.
