Ghana’s police have arrested three Nigerians suspected of belonging to a criminal syndicate accused of robbing bank customers in Kumasi and nearby communities in Ghana’s Ashanti Region. The arrests follow allegations that the group carried out attacks after monitoring people connected with bank withdrawals.
The outlets agree on the broad outline: suspects were identified as Aboy Promise (30), Favour Uwalaka (45) and Kingsley (35), and police say they targeted customers who had withdrawn money. Nigerian Eye and Daily Post Nigeria both describe the arrests as part of alleged robberies aimed at bank customers.
Nigerian Eye adds more operational detail than the other reports, including an intelligence-led operation conducted late on October 31, 2026, where two suspects were arrested at a hotel and police found cash and items including mobile phones, a motorbike and a master key. It also reports that one accomplice is still at large and that the suspects are assisting investigations. The Punch’s coverage, based on the provided summary, tracks the same core allegation and arrest without additional specifics.
