Amanda Amoah, the wife of Callistus Amoah, a young police officer who was tragically killed during an attack on a bullion van crew at Ablekuma Fan Milk in Accra on Thursday, June 22, has revealed that she found out about her husband’s death through the news before the police administration could officially inform the family.
In an interview, Amanda revealed that she had spoken to her husband on the phone shortly before he was fatally shot.
She explained, “My father called me and said that he had received a message on his phone that a police officer had been shot dead at Ablekuma, and that is his route because they always go to Anyaa and Ablekuma. So we switched on the TV and the news was all over.”
Amanda continued, “I went to a program and when I finished, I called him, but the number wasn’t going through. At 12 pm, I called him again to tell him that I was unable to complete what I was doing, but they were demanding I pay GH¢150, and he told me okay and shortly called back to tell me that the network was not good, so he will send it to me later.”
“Within 10 minutes, he called me to tell me that he had sent it, and so I went and withdrew the money. At 1:40 pm I was done, and so I called to check up on him, and he didn’t pick up. I thought maybe they were doing the counting, and so he will call back when he is done.”
