The report indicates that the Police have arrested some suspects in connection with the alleged murder of a missing couple, attempted bank robberies and robbery and murder attacks targeting gold buyers in the Western and Ashanti regions.
It further notes that the arrests were part of seven major breakthroughs recorded after weeks of coordinated, intelligence-led operations across the country.
Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, Inspector-General of Police (IGP), told the media on Monday that special intelligence teams, working with Regional Police Commanders, had conducted operations that led to the arrests and recovery of weapons, ammunition, vehicles and other exhibits.
He stated the Police had arrested Abraham Awundok, 32, in connection with the alleged murder of Dr Jesse Amuah and his wife, Mrs Elizabeth Amuah Esi, who were reported missing in April 2026.
Investigations subsequently established that the couple had allegedly been murdered, leading to searches at their residence and other locations they were believed to have visited, with information provided by family members.
Their remains were later recovered and conveyed to the Police Hospital Morgue for preservation and autopsy.
The IGP stated investigations established that Awundok, who worked as an errand boy for the couple, allegedly murdered them and took their mobile phones, money and private vehicle before leaving Ghana for the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
He was subsequently declared wanted through an INTERPOL Red Notice and deported from Dubai to Ghana on August 30, 2026, by investigators from the Anti-Armed Robbery Unit and INTERPOL.
The suspect allegedly admitted to the murders during interrogation, the IGP said.
He stated the couple’s vehicle had since been recovered, while Awundok remained in Police custody to assist with the investigation.
The IGP stated the Police had also foiled an attempted robbery at banks in Labone, Accra, last month, following a swift response by officers from the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the IGP (SOA).
He stated two suspects were shot dead, another escaped, while one was arrested.
The operation followed intelligence received in April 2026 about a suspected robbery syndicate that monitored bank customers, used master keys to open their vehicles and, in some cases, broke into them.
The group was also suspected of planning attacks on banks.
