The Bono Regional Police Command has begun investigations into the killing of two timber concession security guards and the burning of a vehicle at Mpamso Forest, near Nsuhia, in the Dormaa Central Municipality of the Bono Region.
According to a statement signed by Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, Public Relations Officer of the Bono Regional Police Command, the incident occurred on October 26, 2025, when about 200 suspected illegal chainsaw operators armed with guns and machetes allegedly attacked workers of a timber concession company.
The complainant, identified as 41-year-old Ibrahim Issah, also a security guard with the company, reported that his colleagues, Sani Aliyu, 34, and Ibrahim Musa, 35, were killed during the attack.
Police officers who later visited the scene found the two bodies lying about 100 metres apart, each with multiple gunshot wounds. A Toyota pickup truck with registration number GT 3079-17 was also discovered burnt beyond repair.
The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the Dormaa Presbyterian Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy.
The Bono Regional Police Command says efforts are underway to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice. It has also cautioned the public to refrain from acts of violence and to use lawful means to resolve disputes.
