Police have detained two people in connection with the suspected theft of train lines and steel sleepers from the Ghana Railway Development Authority, which has gone viral on social media.
The suspects, Ibrahim John and Bashiru Ibrahim were apprehended while bringing the materials to the yard of Ferro Frabrik Ltd. in Tema.
According to the suspects, the Ministry of Railway Development hired their business to transport the commodities to Tema.
Officials from the firm who were not met at the company’s facilities have been requested to attend to the police on Tuesday morning to help with the inquiry.
The Ministry of Railway Development has also been contacted, and representatives from the Ministry are due to report to the Police on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, to assist with the inquiry.
Meanwhile, due to the size of the trucks, three DAF trucks GN 8501 – 15, GT 4705 -15, and GT 6707 -15 that were being used to transport the items have been impounded and parked at the National Police Training School while the investigation continues.
