The Bono Regional Police Command has launched an investigation into a robbery and murder incident that occurred at Frimps Filling Station in Abesim, within the Sunyani East Municipality.

The incident happened on October 6, 2025, and resulted in the death of a security guard, identified as Akwasi Addai, believed to be in his late sixties.
