A private security guard employed by Debridge, a private security service, has been found deceased.
It is believed that 63-year-old Kwame Boateng was murdered.
Emerging details suggest that he may have been killed by suspected thieves targeting a power transformer at a factory in Akoti, located in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.
Mr. Boateng had reported for night duty at a factory under construction as part of the government’s One District One Factory (1D1F) initiative.
He was later found lying motionless on the factory premises with his hands and legs tied and a black plastic bag over his head, suggesting possible suffocation.
Dismantled parts of a decommissioned power transformer belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) were also found at the crime scene.
The bereaved family has called on the Inspector General of Police to deploy professionals to the area to begin investigations and apprehend the offenders.
Opinion leaders in the area have expressed concerns over increased criminal activities, emphasising the need for intensified police patrols.
