Police officer arrested for ‘stealing’ AK-47 ammo, dead body bag

Lance Corporal Christian Adjei is being questioned by police in the Bono East Region, after a team of investigators stormed his Kintampo residence on Thursday, September 9 to retrieve the said items.

The search in his single room self contained rented apartment revealed: 10 live AK 47 ammunition, a body armour, a dead body bag, belonging to the Ghana Police Service and a service ballistic helmet.

The team also retrieved wrap of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, multiple sources familiar with the development told dailymailgh.com.

He admitted that he smokes the Indian hemp, the sources said.

The items may have been seized following a tipoff as the suspect officer is yet to disclose his source of supply, although he had admitted to stealing the items in his caution statement.

The police say the exhibits have been retained while the suspect officer remain in custody for further investigations.
