Accra, March 15, – The Police have arrested two additional persons in connection with the robbery and murder incident at Fufulso Junction in the Savannah Region, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to five.
The attack, which occurred earlier this month, resulted in the death of a mobile money operator, Mahama Majeed, and another victim.
According to a Police brief, three suspects – Habibata Kojo, 29; Ibrahim Sumaila, 35; and Alhassan Yusif, believed to be about 40 – were initially arrested on March 12, 2026.
Two more suspects, Dramani Imoro, 24, and Sayibu Iddi, 50, were later apprehended on March 13, 2026, in follow-up operations.
The arrests were carried out by a special team constituted by the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to support investigations into the case. The team included officers from the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Unit and the Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters.
The brief recalled that after the robbery on March 8, 2026, at about 1930 hours, the specialised team was deployed to assist the Buipe District Command.
Preliminary investigations suggested that six individuals, including a woman, carried out the attack at Golden Linq Ventures, a mobile money shop, using AK-47 rifles concealed under long coats.
During a search at the residence of suspect Dramani Imoro, Police retrieved an unregistered Toyota Voxy vehicle, believed to have been purchased within 72 hours after the incident. An unregistered Haojue motorbike and two mobile phones were also found.
The suspects and exhibits are currently in Police custody as investigations continue, while efforts are ongoing to track down other accomplices still at large.
The Police Administration commended the personnel involved for their prompt action and urged members of the public, particularly in the Savannah Region, to volunteer information that could aid the arrest of all those connected to the crime.
