A police officer from the Kpandai FPU was found dead in the middle of the road. His head was smashed. This leads to suspicion that a hit-and-run driver struck him.
The deceased officer, identified as Constable Maxwell Appiah, was found on the Kpandai Lesseni road near the Kpandai District Assembly. Information indicates that on Sunday, October 20, 2024, around 5 PM, Constable Maxwell and another colleague were returning on a motorbike. They had ended their day patrols and snap check duties due to heavy rains.
While on their way, they were crossed by a reckless unregistered motorbike on the Kpandai Lesseni road, resulting in the death of Constable Maxwell on the spot. The other police officer sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the Kpandai District Hospital for treatment.
The deceased’s body has been transported to the Tamale Teaching Hospital for preservation and autopsy.
