The Ghana Police Service has foiled a planned robbery attack along the Ejura–Nkruanza highway following an intelligence-led operation near Mimenaso No. 2 in the Ashanti Region.
On April 9, 2026, an operational team acting on intelligence proceeded to a bush where a six-member robbery gang, led by one Mahamadu Fuseini also known as Shaini, was planning to ambush and rob commuters along that stretch.
As the Police team approached the location, the suspects, mistaking them for potential targets, opened fire. The team returned fire, during which one of the suspects was shot while the others, including the gang leader, escaped.
A pump action gun loaded with four live cartridges, two spent cartridges, and three assorted keypad mobile phones were retrieved from the scene.
Two additional live cartridges were also found in the deceased suspect’s pocket, along with a talisman tied around his waist.
The body has since been deposited at the Atebubu Government Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy while efforts are underway to pursue and arrest the remaining suspects connected to this crime.
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has commenced investigations into an allegation that a Customs officer at the Accra International Airport collected GH¢600 from a TikToker without issuing a receipt.
The GRA said it took note of a video circulating on social media in which TikToker Lady Rev. Adwoa Pretty alleged that a Customs officer stationed at the airport collected the money from her without providing a receipt.
In a public notice, the GRA said it had begun investigations into the matter and would update the public on its findings after the process is completed.
The Authority assured the public of its commitment to maintaining integrity, accountability and professionalism in the performance of its duties.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has congratulated the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on the successful election of its new national executives.
In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC said it remained committed to promoting peaceful political engagement and democratic values in Ghana.
The party stressed the need for all political actors to work together to protect and deepen the country’s democratic gains.
The NDC expressed hope that the new NPP executives would work to ensure that the national interest takes precedence over the interests of the two major political parties.
“It is the fervent hope of the NDC that under the tenure of this new crop of executives, there will be mutual effort to ensure that the interest of Ghana always surpasses the narrow interest of the two respective parties,” the statement said.
The NDC added that such cooperation would contribute to efforts to make Ghana “great and strong.”
