Police In Ghana Arrest 5 Nigerians, 1 Ghanaian For Attack And Robbery Of Bank by Slytiger(op): 2:50am On Jun 25, 2025
The Ashanti regional police command has arrested five Nigerians and a Ghanaian for their alleged involvement in the attack and robbery of customers in some banks in Kumasi.

Regional Police Commander, DCOP Emmanuel Teye Cudjoe, says the suspects follow their victims after they withdraw large sums of money from financial institutions. They then break into their vehicles to rob.

Their operations have been going on for the past month.

Two suspects were identified from police intelligence gathering, supported by footage from the intelligence video surveillance (IVS) system monitored at the police emergency command centre.

A gold-coloured Toyota Highlander with registration number GT 2471-14 and a black Toyota Highlander with registration number GX 7124-12 were confirmed to be used for the robbery. Both vehicles were found to bear fake licence plates.

According to the police commander, on Thursday, 19th June, 2025, around 10 am, the police successfully arrested three other suspects; Russell Ekenze, 29 years, a taxi driver, Francis Friday, 49 years, and Linus Agwazie, a 51-year-old trader.

DCOP Teye Cudjoe, in his press briefing, said that during their interrogation, the suspects confessed to being part of a large criminal syndicate.

"They admitted to carrying out similar thefts at several locations within Kumasi, including Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Mayanka, Asokwa, Kumasi Central Mosque, ShopRite and Georgia Hotel area.

They also named other members of the syndicate as Cosmas Maduabuchukwu, Ezuchukwu, C.J , DD and Lele," he said.

He added that Cosmas Maduabuchukwu sustained gunshot wounds during an attempted arrest but managed to flee.

Six suspects are currently in police custody and the two vehicles used by the syndicate have been impounded. A manhunt is underway to arrest Cosmos Maduabuchukwu and other accomplices still at large.

“Preliminary findings indicate that all members of the syndicate are Nigerian nationals with the exception of DD, who is a Ghanaian and they have been arraigned before the court for lawful remand,” said the police.

The police command has assured the public of its commitment to ensure the safety and security of all residents in the region.

Even in Ghana !

It’s finished!

Do we now blame His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) or the President of Ghana for not providing jobs.

This is getting too much! Dubai, Malaysia, India, now Ghana of all places? Naah, this is a national emergency and this demands a serious reorientation of our people.

You claim Nigeria is a "zoo" but when you leave the "zoo" you still behave like an animal, doesn't that make you the real problem‽ 🤷🏾‍♂️

Products of bad parenting. When parents refuse to do their basic job of raising children properly, they raise children without moral values and the society will pay the price.

Ask them why now, they'll either blame it on the devil or bad government as if those who still do legit work have all taken to criminality. Crimes should attract harsher punishment. Doing so won't stop it but will significantly curtail it.

I knew there must be a Maduabuchukwu amongst them. It is how he was born and raised. He can't engage in anything else but such. I pray himself and the likes of him face the justice they deserve.

Some Nigerians have been doing that robbery in Ghana for quite sometime.

They are even engaging in kidnapping self. Very selfish people

Annoyingly, they would commit crime in Nigeria, run to Ghana and hide for some time, commit crime again in Ghana and run back to Nigeria. That's how they have been operating.

Why is only one section of Nigeria always bringing shame and oprobrium to the name of the country all the time? Many foreign countries look down on us not knowing that Nigeria is made up of many ethnic groups.

If you are a supporter of certificate forger and election criminals, you don't have any moral right to be against these people.


All of them are creating bad images for Nigeria.

Re: Police In Ghana Arrest 5 Nigerians, 1 Ghanaian For Attack And Robbery Of Bank by Lanretoye(m):
Money na water gang,they will come back home to bully and oppress other region meanwhile we know who the real hustlers and industrious ones are…awon Tinubu is a druggie gang,I wish they could just separate our passports cos some people have cause so much harm for our green passports to an irredeemable extent.
Smartcitizen:
Please what is the difference between these people and election thieves?


Can you explain to us?


🙏🙏🙏
election thieves don’t use the green passport to thief so the image in the international community is not tarnished.every country have one issue or the other they are addressing within their country but it does not affect its image internationally.for some people brain they feel it is only Nigeria that they rig elections as if rigging is a Yoruba,Igbo or Hausa word
When you travel abroad with your Nigerian passport you will know the difference between the two,that is if you are not even denied visa or deported.most of these people you call election thieves have diplomatic passports so na people like me and you Dey suffer for the deeds of those ones you are supporting.
The have made Ghanaians that polish our school sandals when we were growing up see us as people of no value and relevance,now a Nigerian will be talking and a Ghanaian will talk back,before it was Ghana must go but now if you are a Nigerian they tell you kwasia.
Smartcitizen:
Hiaaaaaaaa!


So you prefer to be an election thief than this one?


😎😎😎
how many election thieves do you see in jail or death row?,it is because you don’t want to be an election thief that makes you carry drug go Indonesia and Singapore or makes you go and rob a bank or become a kidnapper.
Re: Police In Ghana Arrest 5 Nigerians, 1 Ghanaian For Attack And Robbery Of Bank by TallNigerian:
Are these people cursed? Ah! From one thread to another. I just left a thread trying to advocate for the blanket ban of Indian visa for Nigerians except for diplomatic and government officials, select category of sport athletes during sporting competitions and select category of business men with proven financial capacity and ties to home country. Student visas should only be given with an undertaking by the institution to be responsible for the student always and report if they abandon their program, miss lectures without any verifiable reason or lag in their academic performance.

Now again, Ghana. How can you go to another country to rob a bank? Why do these people place quick wealth above morals and a good name?

In the last decade, the SWs too have joined with monarchs and political appointees involving in systemic fraud and online scams.

The Ns who rarely do fraud or smuggle drugs internationally are terrorists or terrorists sympathizers.

What is wrong with our country and its people?
Re: Police In Ghana Arrest 5 Nigerians, 1 Ghanaian For Attack And Robbery Of Bank by Jaga9ja: 9:36am On Jun 25, 2025
Tradition is a huge thing in any society.

This is evident in the Yôrúbãs Ritualism Tradition headquartered in Ogun, and Oyo.


This is evident in the Ïgbøs wealth centric Tradition that is forcing the youths into all kinds of frauds such as Internet scam, drugs, baby factory, Arm robbery (like in this case), Human trafficking, just to name a few.


Evident in the Ìjáws and Fülãní Tradition of expansion, and conquest that usually saw them attacking and waging wars against their host or neighboring communities, and so on.


The Tradition you expose your children to today, could mar or make them tomorrow.
