After the Bullion van assault, I learned about my husband’s passing on television.

Amanda Amoah, the young police officer’s wife, claims she learned of her husband’s passing on television before the police administration could formally notify the family. Callistus Amoah was killed on June 22 in Ablekuma Fan Milk in Accra during an attack on the crew of a bullion truck.

The widow described the situation in an exclusive interview with Citi News, saying that she had spoken to her husband on the phone a few hours prior to his shooting death.

She admitted that when she was on her way to pick up her son from her mother’s house in the Pig Farm, her father called to let her know about the murder.

“My dad just called and said that he had seen 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, and so we went and switched on the TV and the news was all over.”

“I went to a programme and when I closed, I called him, but the number wasn’t going through but 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, so I was thinking maybe they were doing the counting, and so he will call back when he is done.”
