Swift Police Action Leads to Six Arrests and Recovery of GH¢300,000 in Highway Robbery Case

Six individuals have been apprehended by the Bono East Regional Police Command after a highway robbery on the Portor-Gulumpe Highway. Additionally, the full GH¢300,000 that was taken from a businessman was recovered by the officers.

The event happened close to the Portor Police Barrier on July 19, 2026, in the evening. When police at the barrier learned about the robbery, they moved swiftly. Four suspects fled into the jungle when they got there, but authorities were able to capture Abdul Sadat Ali, 24. Samad Issahaka, a second suspect, was apprehended during questioning.

A startling inside job was discovered after more research. Yahaya Seidu, the businessman, was on his way to purchase livestock when Samad Issahaka, his driver, disclosed the substantial amount of money he was carrying. Issahaka had followed them from Offinso and plotted with five others to stage the robbery using a toy firearm.

All four of the surviving individuals were apprehended as local patrol teams and counterterrorism officers pursued the escaping suspects into the jungle. The entire sum that was stolen was successfully recovered by the police. Now in jail, all six suspects are helping with investigations.
