The Upper East Regional Police Command on Sunday July 11, 2021 arrested three suspected armed robbers believed to have terrorized residents and commuters in the Nabdam and Bawku West Districts.
The suspects, Maxwell Ziaba alias strongman, aged 19, Bodozina Awudu alias ‘Network Absorber’, aged 20 and Yidaana Shamshudeen, aged 23 were arrested at their hideouts at Pelungu and Dakota with exhibits including one locally manufactured pistol, three cartridges of ammunitions, one double-edged knife, two unregistered motorbikes, five gold detectors and five mobile phones.
In a release by ASP David Fianko-Okyere, Upper East Regional Police Public Relations Officer, all three are in police custody after admitting their involvement in robbing some Mossi men at Takwa and Obuasi mining communities near Tongo and Gbane in the Talensu District of the Upper East Region.
Two victims of the robbers upon hearing of the arrest of the suspects reported at the Upper East Regional CID to identify the suspects and one identified two of the gold detectors as his property robbed from him during a rainy day some weeks ago.
The Regional Police Command has therefore called on hotel operators and other hospitality industry players in the region to support police in the fight against crime.
