A combined team of officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate Headquarters, the Anti-Robbery Unit, CID Headquarters, as well as the Ashanti South and Ashanti Regional Police Commands, has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery attack on the Ahyiresu–Kwame Dwumor Sreso (KDS) road in the Nyinahin District on Sunday, April 12, 2026.

The incident led to the death of Dominic Frimpong, a player of Berekum Chelsea FC.

Following the attack, the Inspector-General of Police deployed a team of intelligence officers to support the Regional Command in a manhunt for the perpetrators. On April 15, 2026, an intelligence-led operation at Atimatim in Kumasi resulted in the arrest of suspect Mohammed Ahmed, also known as “I Can do,” identified as the gang leader, and another suspect, Bawa Gideon.

Police said the suspects attempted to flee and fired at officers during the operation.
