Three men in Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region have been found dead with their bodies mutilated.

The three included two security men.

The bodies of the three; Ibrahim Bagada Sumaila, Joshua Afuugu and Kobina, were discovered at different locations on Sunday, according to a police communiqué sighted by Citi News.

“At the Police Hospital, preliminarily examination unearthed that deceased persons Ibrahim Bagada Sumaila, 70, and Kobina have their tongues cut off whilst deceased, Joshua Afuugu, 35, had his left eye removed.”

At 6 am on Sunday, a report was made to the Ashaiman charge office that Ibrahim Bagada Sumaila, aged 70, had been murdered and his head covered with his attire.

Police detectives went to the scene of the crime, the Apsonic shop, and found the lifeless security man with blood oozing from his eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth.
