Two suspects arrested by Asesewa Police for their alleged involvement in over Ghc150,000 theft at Sekesua Community Day Senior High School in Upper Manya Krobo District in the Eastern region have been strangely released by Police.
The two suspects Sulley Yakubu, 42, and Eliasu Moro, 48, were arrested on December 22, 2021, after some of the stolen items were found in their possession.
The stolen items include 3,700 pieces of 5 inches blocks, 2,900 pieces of 6 inches blocks, 3,000 pieces of 2 by 4 cyber wood, 1,200 pieces of Wawa boards, and 402 pieces of marine boards.

The thefts were detected by Maxwell Amoah Oppong, General Manager of Wilglob Ghana Limited, the construction company building the E-Block Community Day SHS in Sekesua.
The suspects took advantage of the long break by the construction company which last went to the site in February this year due to failure by the government to pay for work done.
The General Manager led Police to the house of one of the Suspects Sulley Yakubu, 42, where 100 pieces of 6 inches concrete blocks were found parked at the back of his house.
He was arrested but told police during interrogation that the items were brought from the construction site by one Eliasu Morro, 48, who was also arrested.
The Chief Executive Officer of Wilglob Ghana Limited William Atamudzi expressed dissatisfaction over how the Asesewa Police is handling the case.
However, the Asesewa District Commander Superintendent John Yeboah explains that he granted the two Suspects’ police enquiry bail to enable them to help fish out, other suspects.
