A joint police operation deployed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has led to the arrest of two additional suspects in connection with the Fufulso Junction robbery and murder case in the Savannah Region.
The latest arrests bring the total number of suspects in custody to five.
According to a police report, three suspects, Habibata Kojo, 29; Ibrahim Sumaila, 35; and Alhassan Yusif, aged about 40, were arrested on March 12, 2026.
Two more suspects, Dramani Imoro, 24, and Sayibu Iddi, 50, were subsequently apprehended on March 13, 2026.
The operation was carried out by a special team made up of the IGP’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team and the Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters in Accra.
The team was deployed to assist the Buipe District Police Command following the violent robbery at Fufulso Junction on March 8, 2026, at about 7:30 p.m., which resulted in the killing of a mobile money operator, Mahama Majeed, and another person.
Police said the attack occurred at Golden Linq Ventures, a mobile money vending shop.
“Initial investigation confirmed six suspects (including one female) believed to be of Fulani extraction, armed with AK-47 rifles hidden under long coats, carried out the attack at Golden Linq Ventures, a MoMo vending shop,” the report said.
The police added that a search conducted at the residence of suspect Dramani Imoro led to the retrieval of several items believed to be linked to the crime.
“A search at suspect Dramani Imoro’s residence yielded an unregistered Toyota VOXY vehicle which he allegedly purchased 72 hours after the crime, an unregistered Haojue motorbike, and two smartphones,” the report stated.
All the suspects and the retrieved items are currently in police custody to assist with further investigations.
The police say efforts are ongoing to track down other accomplices who are still at large.
“The police administration would like to commend all the officers for the swift response and the actions put in place to arrest the suspects.
“The administration is also calling on the public, especially those within the Savannah Region area to volunteer information on the whereabouts of all those connected to this horrendous crime,” the report said.
