Law enforcement officials in the Volta Region have taken a middle aged man into custody following the discovery of human remains in his possession. The arrest occurred after a targeted operation aimed at curbing criminal activities within the regional jurisdiction.
According to a report by Starr FM, the suspect was apprehended with the remains hidden in a container. The same outlet suggests the parts were intended for ritual purposes, although this motive remains an unconfirmed allegation as police investigations continue.
Citi Newsroom reports that the suspect is currently assisting the Volta Regional Police Command with inquiries to determine the source of the remains. Local authorities have not yet released the name of the suspect or the specific town where the arrest took place to the public.
The Ghana Police Service has cautioned the public against speculating on the details of the case while forensic experts examine the evidence. Officers have stated that the case will be processed for court once preliminary investigations are completed and the remains are properly identified.
