Persons suspected to be the killers of the young soldier, Trooper Imoro Sheriff, have been arrested.
The police in a short statement posted on its official Facebook page said the feat was as a result of a week-long sustained intelligence-led operation.
“The Police after a week of sustained intelligence-led operation have arrested the key suspects involved in the murder of Imoro Sherrif, the soldier who was found dead at Taifa Ashiaman on 4th March, 2023,” the police posted on Friday evening.
According to the police, the arrests were made on Thursday, 9th March and at dawn on 10th March 2023, within Ashaiman and it environs.

The 21-year-old Imoro Sheriff, who is the first of two siblings, was allegedly killed at Taifa, a community in Ashaiman, on March 4, 2023.
He was stabbed to death by unknown assailants.
The military responded with a swoop that saw armed military personnel unleashing violence on residents in part of Ashaiman on March 7.
Though Deputy Minister of Defence, Kofi Amankwa-Manu, said the exercise by the military was a sanctioned coordinated operation, he apologized for the excesses.
The young soldier has since been buried.
