3 Alleged Members of Robbery Gang Behind Obuasi Terror Nabbed

The police in Ashanti South Regional Command say they have arrested three suspects believed to be part of a dangerous robbery network that has been terrorising parts of Obuasi.

Their arrests were effected on February 15, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation at Mangoase near Pokukrom, where the police raided several hideouts linked to the gang in a coordinated operation.

The suspects include Aziz Abubakar, also known as Romeo, Faraway Amari, and Patient Asare.

The police further retrieved a pump action gun with ammunition, machetes, a bayonet, combat boots, one 9mm round, and cash amounting to GH¢20,000.00, suspected to be proceeds from criminal activities.

Investigations have linked two of the suspects to the killing of three persons at Breme near Bechem in the Bono Region in March 2025, while efforts are ongoing to track down other accomplices and recover additional weapons.
