The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the robbery and murder of two mobile money vendors in separate incidents within the region.

The first attack occurred on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at Krofrom, where a female vendor, Patricia Nimako, was fatally attacked in broad daylight, and an undisclosed amount of money was stolen. The second incident took place a month later, on Monday, March 10, 2025, when Gideon Owusu Sarpong, also known as "Junior," was targeted at his home in Kwadaso and killed by the assailants.

Following intensive investigations, the police apprehended Charles Kwame Danso, 23, alias "Kwame Charles" or "Miami," Philip Foujour, 29, and Samuel Addae Mensah, 42, on March 21, 2025, at Pankrono and Atimatim. They are currently in custody and will be arraigned in court soon.

Authorities are still searching for a fourth suspect, Martin Amoah, also known as Augustine Amoah or "Baba Macho," who is believed to be hiding in Kumasi, Dunkwa-on-Offin, or Diaso in the Central Region.

The police have called on the public to assist in tracking him down, urging anyone with relevant information to reach out via the toll-free numbers 191 or 112, or dial 18555 on MTN and Telecel networks.

The Ashanti Regional Police Command reassured residents of its commitment to bringing all perpetrators to justice while urging the public to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement.
