Police have arrested two individuals on suspicion of planning to rob a businessman in the Pru East District of the Bono East Region.

The intended location for the crime was reported to be the East Gonja District in the Savanna Region.

The arrested individuals are Njoku Innocent, a 27-year-old Nigerian, and Attah Kwame, a 29-year-old Ghanaian. According to information gathered by Adom News' Daniel Tachie, it appears that Innocent had recruited Kwame Attah Kwame for the robbery plot. Innocent allegedly provided Kwame with a firearm and a motorbike to carry out the operation.

However, after receiving the items, Kwame went into hiding and abandoned the planned robbery. Innocent later encountered Kwame at the Yeji market, leading to an altercation where Innocent accused Kwame of being a thief.

This drew the attention of residents, and both individuals were subsequently apprehended. During police interrogation, Attah Kwame admitted to being hired by Innocent for the robbery but confessed to abandoning the plan.

The arrests took place on Monday in Yeji, and the suspects are currently in police custody pending further investigation.
