The Jirapa MP, Cletus Seidu Dapilah, has announced a GH¢100,000 bounty on the killers of Eric Johnson, the CEO of Royal Cosy Hills Hotel.
He stated that any person who provides credible information to enable the police to solve the murder case will receive the money.
This action comes after the alleged murder of Mr. Johnson in his private residence over the weekend. The police have arrested seven persons in connection with the incident.
Mr. Dapilah mentioned that the unusual circumstances surrounding Mr. Johnson’s murder raise many unanswered questions.
“The Villa had no door broken, no window was broken, his room door was not broken yet they entered so this is for everybody to think about and to wonder who might have had access to be able to enter the place without breaking any doors or window.
“Anybody who can provide us information so we can unravel or arrest the murderers, I will give a reward of ¢100,000 to anybody who will give us meaningful information to conclude the investigation.”
Meanwhile, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Jirapa, Nicholas Soyiri, expressed optimism that the killers of the business mogul will be brought to justice. Despite being deeply affected by the incident, Mr. Soyiri stated his confidence in the justice system.
“I am expecting the perpetrators to be brought to book, not just arresting innocent people but the real culprits should be caught,” he said.
