The Ghana Police Service, through the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the IGP, has arrested seven suspects in connection with a robbery syndicate linked to a series of attacks across Accra, Tema, Anyinam, Kumasi, and Takoradi, where victims were robbed of cash, gold, and mercury.
Investigations began following a complaint by Mousa Bamba, an Ivorian investor, who reported that he had been lured to Dzorwulu under the pretext of purchasing six kilograms of gold valued at US$450,000.00. The suspects, posing as CID operatives and military personnel, allegedly robbed him at gunpoint and fled the scene.
Police investigations led to the arrest of suspects Mohammed Umaro alias Alhaji and Gabriel Sewornu alias Dangote.
Further investigations implicated two military personnel, Lance Corporal Eugene Akurugu and Lance Corporal Emmanuel Arko alias Bullet as well as three Police personnel, Inspector Richmond Osei, Corporal Gideon Anor, and Lance Corporal Felix Deku Tetteyga. The Police personnel have since been interdicted to allow for investigations.
On 23rd and 24th May 2026, intelligence-led operations by the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the IGP resulted in the arrest of additional suspects, including Justin Oduro alias Don King alias Mafia, Clement Gyasi, and Farouk Zakari.
All suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations, while efforts continue to arrest other accomplices connected to the syndicate.
