According to the police, the complainant, Mr Orls Oduro, stated that after closing his gold-buying business at Tamakloe, he hired an Okada rider to transport him to his residence at Wassa Akropong.

While on the way, they were attacked by armed men who robbed them at gunpoint. Items taken during the attack included GH¢24,000 in cash, seven pounds and six matches of gold valued at GH¢94,530.00, an iPhone XR and a Tecno Spark 12 mobile phone.

On July 23, 2026, the suspects were arraigned before the Wassa Akropong District Court, where they were remanded into police custody to assist with ongoing investigations.
