The third accomplice involved in the burglary at the home of Lillian Kumah, widow of the late Deputy Minister of Finance John Kumah, is still at large.

The robbery, which took place on December 29, 2023, targeted valuable personal items, sparking concerns about the safety of residents in the area.

The burglary occurred at the residence where Lillian has lived for several years, continuing to occupy the family home after the death of her husband, John Kumah, a well-respected figure in Ghanaian politics.

The criminals managed to gain access to the home, stealing a significant haul of valuable items, including $50,000, GHC50,000, an iPhone 15 Pro Max valued at GH¢15,000, an Apple iPad worth GH¢15,000, a Samsung Z Fold phone costing GHC12,000, a Microsoft laptop worth GH¢7,000, a black school bag valued at GHC400, and an Apple watch.

The burglars also stole other personal belongings, leaving Lillian shaken and distressed by the intrusion. The community, deeply unsettled by the boldness of the crime, has been vocal in expressing concerns about their own safety and the need for stronger security measures in the area.

After the burglary was reported, the police swiftly launched an investigation, including the review of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage from the area. This led to the identification and subsequent arrest of two suspects: Adams Sanogo, a trader, and Rabiu Falilu, a Senior High School leaver. Both suspects were charged with conspiracy and dishonestly receiving stolen goods.

Despite the progress in the case, a third accomplice, identified as Kwame Dunga, remains on the run. The police have been actively searching for Dunga, who is believed to have played a significant role in the crime but has so far evaded capture.

Sanogo and Falilu have been granted bail, each set at GH₵200,000, along with other conditions. However, the community's concern remains high, as the third suspect's continued absence poses a potential threat to security.

The incident has caused widespread anxiety within the Achimota-Mile 7 community, with many residents calling for increased security measures, particularly for vulnerable groups such as widows and elderly individuals. The community is pushing for improved police presence and enhanced surveillance systems to help deter future criminal activities.

With the police continuing their search for the elusive accomplice, residents are hopeful that heightened security efforts will bring swift justice and restore a sense of safety to their community.
