In connection with the recent bullion van robberies in Accra, two additional people have been charged.
The two, General Constable Nelson Tetteh and Badu Zakari, alias Rasta, a mechanic, were charged in Evelyn Asamoah’s court last Tuesday.
Four police recruits had already been charged in connection with the crime: Constable Yaro Afisu Ibrahim, Constable Albert Ofosu alias Cypher, Constable Richard Boadu aka Osor, and Constable Rabiu Jambedu.
The substantive charge against the four was changed to include the two accused people when the case was called.
