The Ghana Police Service has arrested a suspect, Salim Mohammed, also known as Fariwata, in connection with the daylight robbery attack on a jewellery shop at Adabraka where an amount of GH₵7.5 million proceeds from a gold transaction was stolen while being conveyed to the bank.
In a press conference held at the Police Headquarters, Accra today, Director General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) COP Lydia Yaako Donkor said the arrest was made on November 20, 2025 at a hospital in Ashaiman, following months of intelligence operations.
She revealed that preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect and his accomplices, armed with AK47 assault rifles, intercepted the victim’s vehicle, fired multiple shots to disperse onlookers, and injured the driver before fleeing with the cash.
COP Lydia Yaako Donkor said efforts are underway to arrest the remaining accomplices and recover the stolen money.
