Police Arrest Seven Suspects in Connection with Robbery Cases Across Multiple Cities
The Ghana Police Service, through the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police, has arrested seven suspects in connection with ongoing investigations into a series of robbery incidents reported in Accra, Tema, Anyinam, Kumasi, and Takoradi.
The investigations began following a complaint from an Ivorian investor, Mousa Bamba, who alleged that he was lured to Dzorwulu under the pretext of a gold transaction and subsequently robbed of money and valuables.
As part of the investigation, police arrested Mohammed Umaro, also known as Alhaji, and Gabriel Sewornu, also known as Dangote. Further inquiries led to the identification of additional suspects, including two military personnel, Lance Corporal Eugene Akurugu and Lance Corporal Emmanuel Arko, also known as Bullet, as well as three police personnel: Inspector Richmond Osei, Corporal Gideon Anor, and Lance Corporal Felix Deku Tetteyga. The police officers involved have been interdicted pending the outcome of investigations.
On May 23 and 24, 2026, intelligence-led operations resulted in the arrest of Justin Oduro, also known as Don King or Mafia, Clement Gyasi, and Farouk Zakari.
All seven suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend other individuals believed to be connected to the case. The Ghana Police Service has stated that it remains committed to ensuring due process is followed and that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
