The Ghana Police Service has arrested 36 suspects in connection with the lynching of a police officer at Gindabour in the Sawla District of the Savannah Region.
Preliminary investigation indicates that on September 16, 2026, the deceased and his colleagues were on highway patrol duties along the Gindabour to Kenkyen community road when a motorbike rider approaching their location diverted into the bush upon seeing the police vehicle.
According to the police, the team became suspicious and followed up from a different direction but found the rider unconscious on the bush road. The officers picked up the man and were conveying him to hospital when he died on the way.
Following news of his death, a mob from the community attacked the officers, resulting in the death of General Constable Redeemer Owusu. The other officers sustained varying degrees of injury and the police vehicle was also damaged.
The bodies of both the deceased officer and the rider have been conveyed to the Damongo Morgue for preservation and autopsy.
Following the incident, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has deployed a team of investigators and intelligence officers to assist with investigations and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Reinforcement teams from Damongo, Bole, Sawla, Tuna, Kalba and the Regional Intelligence Team are currently on the ground to beef up security and maintain law and order.
The police said all 36 suspects are in custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
“The Command highly condemns the attack on its officers and will ensure the perpetrators are made to face the full rigours of the law,” the statement said.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
