The Bono Regional Police Command has begun a full-scale investigation into the gruesome murder of two security guards of ADRAS Timber Company and the burning of a vehicle at the company’s concession in Mpamso Forest near Nsuhia, Dormaa Central Municipality.

According to a statement signed by Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, Public Relations Officer of the Bono Regional Police Command, the attack occurred on October 26, 2025, when about 200 suspected illegal chainsaw operators armed with guns and machetes invaded the concession site.

The complainant, 41-year-old security guard Ibrahim Issah, reported that his colleagues, identified as Sani Aliyu, 34, and Ibrahim Musa, 35, were killed in the violent assault.
