An Accra Circuit Court has remanded six persons into custody over their alleged involvement in the robbery of 12.5 kilogrammes of gold valued at GH¢14,387,096, along with an additional GH¢400,000 in cash.

The accused persons, who are facing charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery, have all pleaded not guilty.

Presiding judge Dennis Eyram Benson denied oral bail applications made by lawyers for the accused persons and ordered that they be kept in lawful custody.

The case has been adjourned to April 27, 2026, when the accused persons are expected to reappear in court.

The accused persons have been identified as Salim Muhammed, also known as Fariwata; Alhassan Illiasu, also known as Arab Man; Hamza Agerego, also known as Lambert or Nene Bowku; Abdul Samed Bonsiabu Larry, also known as Touch; Fatao Ibrahim, also known as Motorway; and Abubarkar Sadique, also known as Fifty Cents.

A seventh suspect, Baba Chika, also known as Oil Money, is currently at large and being sought by police.

According to the prosecution, the suspects allegedly carried out the robbery in November 2024 when a large sum of money was being transported from a jewellery shop to a bank.

The court heard that the accused persons allegedly used a Toyota Highlander vehicle with registration number GN 7357-19 to execute the operation and fired several gunshots into the air during the attack.

An occupant of the vehicle transporting the money was reportedly shot in the left leg during the incident.
