Roko was threatened - Police

Story: Albert K. Salia
Police investigations into the murder of the Deputy Managing Director (Operations) of the Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB), Mr Rokko Frimpong, have revealed that before he was gunned down last Thursday, June 28, 2007 night, the deceased had been haunted for more than one year.
The four gunmen who murdered him dumped his body outside his Sakumono residence that fateful night, police sources said. Mr Frimpong had informed close relatives and a friend about serious threats to his life but made no such report to the Tema Police.
To ward off the threats, Mr Frimpong was said to have raised the wall of his house and told close associates not to show anybody where he lived.
The police sources further noted with disappointment that on the night of Mr Frimpong’s murder, a neighbour who had seen a car parked close to the deceased’s house for an unusually long time never took any particular interest and did not take any details of the vehicle.
They said it was only after the sound of a gunshot that the neighbour rushed out to find the assailants speeding off in the waiting vehicle.
Mr Frimpong’s murder on Thursday night was described by the police and neighbours as a “professional job”.
The gunmen did not take any of the deceased’s personal belongings or property and left after shooting him, an act which ruled out robbery as a motive for the murder.
