Police offer 10 million Cedis reward

The police have offered a ?10 million reward for any accurate and reliable information leading to the arrest of the culprits who carried out last week’s attack on the Ya-Na’s palace at Yendi, which resulted in the death of the Ya-Na and a number of people at the palace.
This was contained in a release issued in Accra on Monday, and signed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr Ernest Owusu-Poku. The release assured the public that an all-embracing impartial and thorough investigation had begun into the circumstances leading to the attack on the Ya-Na’s palace.
It said that in furtherance of the police effort, a Special Investigative Team (SIT) had been set up to coordinate the investigation. It is made up of officers from the CID headquarters and their colleagues from the Northern Police Command. The IGP therefore, appealed to members of the public with any information on those who executed the dastardly acts to contact the police in Accra, Yendi or Tamale.
