Greater Accra Region: Police arrest two taxi drivers with human head

The suspects, Samuel Amemasi, 32, and Joseph Kwesi Mawuwone, 23, were arrested at Hobor near Amanfrom in the Ga South Municipality, on Sunday, July 10, 2022, in the evening around 8 pm, after the vehicle they were traveling with got involved in an accident.

The human head was concealed in a bag inside the back seat of the vehicle and exposed after the vehicle summersaulted several times and landed in a ditch.

Eyewitnesses said the Amanfrom police were immediately informed which led to the arrest of one person but one other who managed to escape from the spot was later arrested.

A witness who spoke to the Daily Guide said the two suspects (identities withheld) were driving a Toyota Corrolla Taxi cab with registration number GW 5532-21 from Kasoa coming towards Amasaman.

According to him, the two men bypassed a police barrier but their vehicle was not searched by the police.

The drivers upon reaching the Hobor area attempted to dodge a pothole and in the process, the vehicle summersaulted and landed in a ditch.

He said "We rushed to save occupants in the vehicle, but to our surprise, we saw a fresh human head, concealed in a bag that got torn as a result of the accident.

"We immediately called on the Amanfrom police for assistance."

Meanwhile, the head has been deposited at the morgue.
