The Ghana Police Service has arrested seven suspects connected to a series of brazen r,obberies across multiple cities, in a case involving men posing as military and CID personnel to r,ob gold investors at gunpoint.
The case broke open after Ivorian investor Mousa Bamba filed a complaint stating he had been lured to Dzorwulu in Accra under the pretence of purchasing six kilograms of gold valued at $450,000.
When he arrived, the suspects, posing as CID operatives and military personnel, r,obbed him at g,unpoint and fled the scene.
Investigations led to the arrest of Mohammed Umaro, alias Alhaji, and Gabriel Sewornu. Further digging implicated two serving military personnel, Lance Corporal Eugene Akurugu and Lance Corporal Emmanuel Arko, as well as three serving police officers, Inspector Richmond Osei, Corporal Gideon Anor, and Lance Corporal Felix Deku Tetteyga.
All three police personnel have been interdicted pending investigation.
The syndicate has been linked to additional r,obberies in Tema, Anyinam, Kumasi, and Takoradi, with victims relieved of cash, gold, and mercury across the incidents.
Intelligence-led operations by the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the IGP on May 23 and 24, 2026, led to the arrest of further suspects, including Justin Oduro, known as Don King and Mafia, alongside Clement Gyasi and Farouk Zakari.
All suspects are in police custody as investigations continue. Efforts to apprehend remaining accomplices are ongoing…
