COP Yeboah added that the police officer after boarding the taxi, told Mr Tawiah that he was going to visit his building site at the Adjei Kotoku and the incident happened on their way to the area.
“under the guise of going to visit his building site. Unknown to the taxi driver, one of the suspects, Ebenezer Tetteh, was hiding in a nearby bush. He added that when the police officer got to the spot, he directed the taxi driver to stop the vehicle, and then he shot him twice.
"Ebenezer then emerged from his hideout, pulled the deceased taxi driver and the policeman shot him again to ensure he had died. They left him in the bush,” the CID boss continued.
