Ghanaian footballer, Ganiu Iddrisu, has been placed in police custody for his alleged involvement in the shooting deaths of two police officers at East Trasacco on May 2, 2024.

Alongside Iddrisu, four other suspects, including a gardener, a public servant, and an Arabic translator, were also apprehended.

During the court proceedings on May 8, 2024, Chief Inspector Margaret Ofori Boadi presented the case's details, stating that the accused individuals, along with others still at large, conspired to commit the murders of the two off-duty police officers.

The suspects were identified as Mohammed Alhassan Damba, Chinkor Abdullah Alhassan, Alex Appoh, Bright Nana Kwame Owusu, and Ganiu Iddrisu.

The incident allegedly occurred around 6:30 pm on May 2, near the Hakska Block Factory at East Trasacco, East Legon, Accra.

Chief Inspector Boadi requested the court remand the accused individuals while investigations continued.

In response, the counsel for the accused argued for bail, highlighting jurisdictional issues and claiming wrongful arrest.

However, the trial magistrate, Prince Osei Owusu, declined bail due to jurisdictional constraints and advised the defence counsel to seek bail through appropriate channels.

The case was adjourned to May 20, 2024, for further proceedings.
