The police in the Nadowli Kaleo District of the Upper West Region have arrested three suspects for stealing a guinea fowl, a ram and a motorbike on Tuesday.
The suspects, 25-year old Peter Akwasi, 30-year old Dordaa and 33-year old Justin Zubevel who were lynched to near death in a suspected mob action, were picked up by the police at Tangasie a suburb of Nadowli together with the alleged stolen items.
Confirming the incident to The Spectator newspaper at Wa, the Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector Gideon Ohene Boateng said the police received information about the activities of the three suspects in the area but met them in a sorry state from lynching.
He said they were picked up for arrest but were taken to the Nadowli District Hospital where they were currently receiving treatment.
“We have the items they allegedly stole in our custody; one Haojue motorbike with registration number M-20-UW-191, a guinea fowl and a ram,” he stated.
Inspector Boateng added that investigations would commence as soon as the suspects recovered.
He used the opportunity to condemn mob justice and cautioned residents against such acts saying it was punishable by law if perpetrators were caught by the police.

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
