A 27-year-old soldier stationed at Airborne-Tamale, currently on Operation Duty at Bawku, Lance Corporal Opoku Eric is in the grips of police in Obuasi, in the Ashanti Region for attempted robbery.
Lance Corporal Opoku Eric was arrested after he and three other colleagues stormed a mining site at Nyamesom near Kwabenakwa while his three colleagues are currently on the run.
Upon interrogation, Lance Corporal Opoku Eric disclosed to the police that they were at the site to look for their “chop money” since they were on leave for 14 days.
He said they just fired warning shots and the workers on site took to their heels. They then took hostage of an excavator operator, but luck eluded him when the miners fought back, and he was arrested and presented to the police when they got to the site.
The Police retrieved a pump action gun, knives and other offensive weapons upon the arrest.
Lance Corporal Opoku Eric is currently in Police custody and is helping with investigations.
