The main suspect in the killing of the two police officers at Gomoa Buduburam, Eric Kojo Duah has told police investigators that one of the deceased persons caused the death of his mother.

At about 1 pm on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, the police administration received information that two Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) personnel had been shot and killed by unknown assailants.
Reports indicate that the prime suspect is the son of the founder of the Strong Living Fire Church the late Elizabeth Boateng but his arrest has left church members shocked and distraught.
