Ghana Police say they stop an alleged bank robbery attempt in Accra and kill two suspects while arresting a Nigerian man. According to the reports, the Ghana Police Service receives intelligence about a planned attack on banks in the Labone area and acts on it.
Daily Post Nigeria identifies the arrested Nigerian as Augustine Okechuku Maazi. The same report says the alleged plot targets three banks—GCB Bank, Ecobank and Zenith Bank—after the operation takes place on Thursday, August 13, 2026. Vanguard Nigeria adds that police say a fourth suspect escapes during the operation and that a manhunt is launched to locate him.
Both outlets describe the incident as an operation by Ghanaian police based on prior information, ending with fatalities among suspects and the arrest of a Nigerian national. They differ mainly on naming details and the specific list of banks targeted, but agree on the outcome: two dead, one arrest, and one fugitive.
