A police officer stationed at Abuakwa, Inspector Bright Appiah Danquah, has reportedly been arrested together with three other suspects over alleged armed robberies targeting mobile money vendors in Kumasi and nearby communities.
According to reports, one MoMo vendor was allegedly robbed of GH₵38,600 at gunpoint.
In a shocking twist, the officer reportedly left his phone at the robbery scene. Sources say he later went to a police station to report the phone as stolen, only to allegedly meet the same robbery victim who had come to file a complaint.
Investigations are currently ongoing as authorities work to uncover the full details behind the alleged operation.
