The Bono East Regional Police Intelligence Directorate, supported by National Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) on Monday, 13th April 2026, conducted a special intelligence-led operation at Cherimbo in the Prang District to arrest a suspected armed robber, Amadu Mammaa, who was wanted in connection with several robbery incidents and a murder case.
During the operation, the suspect sustained gunshot wounds following an exchange of fire between him and the Police team.
The team conveyed the suspect to the Holy Family Hospital for emergency medical attention but he was pronounced dead on arrival by the attending medical officer.
A search conducted on the suspect led to the retrieval of one foreign-made pistol loaded with four rounds of 7.65mm ammunition, one cutlass, and three talismans.
Investigations have linked the suspect to the murder of one Hawa Yakubu on 9th March 2026 at Jerusalem near Mpaha in the Savannah Region, as well as a robbery attack on two victims at Bompa near Ejura in the Ashanti Region on 23rd February 2026.
The body has been deposited at the Holy Family Hospital morgue for preservation, while further investigations continue.
