Speaking during a telephone interview on the LNP’s Morning Watch radio program, the Commissioner of Police for Crime Services, Johnny Dean, confirmed that Liberian authorities were officially informed about the arrest by their counterparts in Ghana.
Dean revealed that the Ghana Police Service has also notified the Liberia National Police that all individuals suspected of involvement in the case have already appeared before a court in Ghana.
“The Liberia National Police has been duly informed by its Ghanaian counterpart that all suspects linked to the case have been arraigned before a court in Ghana,” Commissioner Dean said.
