A post-mortem examination has determined that Shadrach Arloo the 32-year-old man who died after an altercation with a police officer and private security personnel at the West Hill Mall died as a result of asphyxiation and obstruction of the airway by a foreign body.

A Ga East Municipal Hospital Pathologist, Dr. Rosana Polinicio Segborwortso, told a team including Mr. Francis Xavier Sosu, lawyer for the deceased, Louis Melabah Edeafor, uncle of the deceased, Isaac Anim Anno, father of the deceased and Anna Cobbina sister of the deceased on Tuesday, February 7, 2023.

She retrieved eight (8) zipped bags containing dry leaves suspected to be narcotic drugs tied in a piece of black polythene. The retrieved suspected narcotic substances tested positive for cannabis when submitted for forensic examination, in the presence of all the interested parties.

These were contained in a statement released by the Ghana Police Service and available to Metro TV.

In the statement on Wednesday, the Police Administration registered its displeasure with accusations interested parties were not involved in the investigation process.

“As a matter of regret and great dismay and we dare say un-Ghanaian that people who had all the information on the matter, would behave as though they had no idea of actions that were being taken by the Police in respect of the case.”

The public has been urged to exercise restraint and patience with matters that are under Police investigation in order not to worsen the pain of those who are directly affected by such incidents.

Meanwhile, the police have forwarded the case docket to the Attorney-General’s Office for study and advice to determine further Police action.
