Meanwhile, when the Daily Searchlight contacted the Commander of the Mobile Force Patrol Team, ASP Anthony Danso on phone to ascertain the truth of the matter, he said he will only speak when he sees the reporter after the reporter refused to disclose the source of the information.
“I can't speak on a sensitive issue like this one. I will only speak if I see the person I am talking to but right now I am at a seminar so let's make it on Friday”, he said.
