The Gomoa Ojobi District Police Command has arrested four men in connection with the gruesome murder of a security guard at a One District, One Factory (1D1F) facility located at Gomoa Akoti in the Central Region.
The deceased, identified as 65-year-old Alexander Kwaku Boateng, was reportedly killed on June 30, 2025, while attempting to prevent a gang of robbers from stealing electrical coils and copper wires from two ECG transformers installed at the factory premises.
According to the police, six men from Fetteh Kakraba stormed the facility in the middle of the night. In a brutal attack, the suspects tied the guard’s hands, knees, and legs, and covered his head with a polythene bag, leading to his suffocation and eventual death.
The suspects then proceeded to dismantle the two ECG transformers, valued at approximately GH¢250,000. They also made away with the deceased’s mobile phone, an Infinix Smart 8, estimated at GH¢1,800.
Following police investigations, two of the main suspects — Samuel Larbie, a 28-year-old businessman, and Wisdom Sosu, a 32-year-old motor mechanic — were arrested for their direct involvement in the robbery and murder.
Additionally, two other suspects, Nabil Mohammed and Mahmoud Kardi, were apprehended for allegedly receiving and purchasing the stolen items, including the deceased’s mobile phone and the dismantled copper components of the ECG transformers.
Meanwhile, police say four other members of the robbery gang remain at large. A manhunt is currently underway to apprehend the remaining suspects.
The authorities have assured the public that they are working tirelessly to bring all perpetrators to justice.
