The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of seven suspects, including two soldiers and three police officers, over their alleged involvement in a robbery syndicate connected to a series of attacks across Accra, Tema, Anyinam, Kumasi, and Takoradi.

The Police Service disclosed this in a statement shared on its official social media platforms on Tuesday, revealing that the arrests were carried out by the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector-General of Police, IGP.

According to the statement, the investigation started after an Ivorian businessman, Mousa Bamba, reported that he was invited to the Dzorwulu area under the guise of purchasing six kilograms of gold worth US$450,000.

Bamba alleged that upon arriving at the location, the suspects impersonated officers of the Criminal Investigation Department, CID, and military personnel before robbing him at gunpoint and escaping.

Following the complaint, police commenced investigations which led to the initial arrest of two suspects identified as Mohammed Umaro, also known as Alhaji, and Gabriel Sewornu, also known as Dangote.

Further investigations by the Ghana Police Service later linked more suspects to the operation, including two soldiers identified as Lance Corporals Eugene Akurugu and Emmanuel Arko, also known as Bullet, alongside three police officers; Inspector Richmond Osei, Corporal Gideon Anor, and Lance Corporal Felix Deku Tetteyga.

The Police Service stated that the officers implicated in the matter have since been interdicted to allow full investigations into their alleged roles.

It also disclosed that intelligence-driven operations by the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the IGP led to the arrest of more suspects, including Justin Oduro, also known as Don King and Mafia, Clement Gyasi, and Farouk Zakari, between May 23 and May 24, 2026.

“All suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations, while efforts continue to arrest other accomplices connected to the syndicate,” the Ghana Police Service said.
