A Security Analyst, Dr Adam Bonaa has observed that the East Trassacco enclave in Accra where the two off-duty Police officers were shot and killed by unknown gunmen on Thursday, also has activities of land guards ongoing there.
To that end, he says the owner of the building where the officers were living before the killing, should be invited and spoken to about whether or not the property is being litigated.
Asked whether this could be a contract killing while speaking on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 on Thursday, May 2, Dr Bonaa said “That particular East Trassacco enclave also has a high level of landguardism and so it is too early to say it is contract killing, let us leave it in the hands of the Police, let us not attempt to torpedo.

“You will want to conclude that this is something like that but it is difficult but then who is the owner of the property? The owner of the property I believe would have to be spoken to to know whether he has not offended anybody, is he litigating? Is the land in dispute with anybody? If it is in dispute and you have Police officers staying there then chances are that whoever he is disputing with will think that because of these Police officers that is why he can take this property. So we can proffer various theories but we should allow the Police to investigate this.
“As usual, I am expecting the IGP to be as swift as he usually would be to apprehend these people as soon as possible because this is too much to take.”
