Bole residents under self-imposed curfew after another mysterious death

Source:JoyNews online

In a bid to safeguard their lives, residents of Bole in the Savannah Region have initiated a self-imposed curfew due to a series of gruesome serial killings in the area. The victims’ bodies are mostly found mutilated, with missing parts, and dumped in public places. At least, four deaths have occurred under bizarre circumstances and despite intensified security measures, residents remain sceptical about their safety. Speaking to JoyNews, the Assembly Member for Mempeasem, Abu Hassan, described how the streets of Bole become deserted before 8 pm; creating an atmosphere of fear and anxiety in the community. "As I am speaking, I am also in my room because of the way the killings started. Before we realised, in a month, three people had been murdered in my area, and even what made people more fearful was the last one who was killed and a red towel was placed on him.

"In fact, it was disturbing so because of that, nobody wants to be the next victim and that is why the whole town, after 8 pm movement ceases. "You will not see any movement and the whole place will become quiet,” he said. Another resident confirmed the development to JoyNews. "When it is 8 pm, you will not see anybody roaming about because of the insecurity in Bole town. After we recorded the first killing, within a week, two people died. Because of that we just imposed self-curfew although there are security personnel in town".

Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has dispatched a specialised team to Bole and its surrounding areas in the Savannah Region to assist the Regional Police Command in investigating the reported cases of unnatural deaths over the past six months.
