Police arrest three after shooting incident in Keri
Police arrested three suspects in connection with a shooting incident on March 18, 2026, at Keri in the Oti Region. The incident occurred at about 2:00 p.m. when unknown gunmen reportedly opened fire on residents at their home. Gasalege Kumi Salisa, age 82, and his 42-year-old son, Amoah Gasalege Amoah, were injured.
The victims were rushed to the Nkwanta Municipal Hospital for treatment. Police who visited the facility said the victims sustained suspected pellet wounds to the head, chest, shoulders, and hands, but were responding to treatment. A joint security operation involving the military led to the deployment of a drone, which identified individuals hiding in the area. The arrested suspects were later handed over to the police by a military team led by an officer from the 66 Artillery Regiment in Ho. The suspects have been identified as Bomie Dennis, 22; Charity Salisa, 25, who is seven months pregnant; and Kakotse Victoria, 22. A search conducted at suspected hideouts led to the retrieval of several items, including four locally manufactured single-barrel guns, assorted cartridges, mobile phones, ECOWAS identity cards, and other materials believed to be linked to the crime.
Police say the suspects are currently in custody, assisting with investigations, while efforts are underway to apprehend the remaining suspects. All retrieved items have been retained as exhibits for evidential purposes.
