THE Wa police have arrested two suspected armed robbers, Nayaa Aweriba, 35, and George Tofaha Suglo, 46, on the Wa-Jirapa road.
The suspects, who were riding a motorcycle, were arrested after a police patrol team intercepted their motorcycle at about 8 p.m. last Sunday.
The Upper West Regional Police Commander, ACP Alex Bedie, who briefed The Mirror, said when a search was conducted on the suspects a shotgun with seven cartridges and two jack knives were found.
He said when they were questioned they said they were galamsey operators at Dekope in Bole in the Northern Region.
ACP Bedie said Nayaa claimed he bought the gun from one Robert and that they were travelling to Kaleo in the Nadowli District of the region for a funeral where he was going to use the gun to fire musketry as a sign of respect to the departed.
Mr Bedie said their explanation did not convince the patrol team and were arrested.
He said the two suspects had since been detained while a search had been mounted for Robert.
