The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested four suspects in connection with a robbery attack on an okada rider.
According to a police statement, the suspects were arrested on 22nd February 2026.
The victim reported to the Fomena Police Station with a machete wound on his left toe.
The police disclosed that the victim told police that while returning from Old Ayaase after dropping off a passenger, he was ambushed at a section of the road by about ten tricycle riders who had barricaded the route with their tricycles and other objects.
