Three Nigerian men have been arrested by the Ghana police for targeting bank customers in Kumasi and its environs.
The suspects, identified as Aboy Promise, 30; Favour Uwalaka, 45; and Kingsley, 35, were arrested in two hotels following an intelligence-led operation on October 31, 2026.
Police said a search of their rooms led to the recovery of GH¢1,600, mobile phones, a motorcycle and a master key allegedly used to break into victims’ vehicles and steal cash.
Investigations revealed that the gang allegedly monitored bank customers withdrawing large sums of money, trailed them and robbed them. They also targeted unattended vehicles belonging to bank customers.
The suspects reportedly admitted stealing GH¢15,000 from a customer at Asokore Mampong on October 27, after the victim withdrew the money from Kwamang Rural Bank. They also confessed to similar robberies at branches of Fidelity Bank and Access Bank in Kumasi.
Police said a fourth suspect, identified as Chinedu, alias Alhaji, remains at large and urged the public to provide information that could lead to his arrest.
The three arrested suspects have been handed over to the Ashanti Regional Police Command and are assisting with investigations.
