BREAKING: Bolgatanga’s Most Wanted Takedown – The AK-47 Gang is Off the Streets! 🚨
The streets of the Upper East Region are breathing a massive sigh of relief today. In a high-stakes, intelligence-led operation, the Ghana Police Service has successfully dismantled a notorious robbery syndicate that has been terrorizing mining communities and commuters for over a year.
Here is the breakdown of how the law finally caught up with them.
The Takedown: A Stealth Operation
On May 5, 2026, police moved in on four suspects—Abdulai Ibrahim, Amadu Rahman, Amadu Sulemana (alias "Saaga"), and Adu Yakubu. The gang had just converged at Gbane, a busy mining hub in the Talensi District, after traveling from Yagaba and Fumbisi. They weren't there for a social visit; they had just completed a fresh heist, netting four motorbikes and a haul of mobile phones. Little did they know, their luck had just run out.
The "Viral" Connection
This wasn’t just any petty theft crew. During intense interrogation, the suspects made a chilling confession: they were the men in the video.
Remember that viral footage from March 2022 showing a brazen daylight robbery at the Vikandi Phone Shop in Bolgatanga? The one with the masked man wielding an AK-47? That was them. They also admitted to:
Multiple raids on the Gbane mining sites, stealing gold and massive amounts of cash.
Terrorizing travelers on the Yagaba-Fumbisi and Yagaba-Nanguruma roads.
The Hidden Arsenal and a Final Twist
The gang leader, Amadu Rahman, led officers to a remote farm near Biung to recover their "heavy hitter." Hidden inside a common fertilizer sack was a lethal AK-47 rifle (Serial No. 68100563) and a staggering 87 rounds of live ammunition.
However, the drama didn’t end with the recovery. During the search, Rahman collapsed unexpectedly. He was rushed to the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital but was tragically pronounced dead on arrival. His body is currently awaiting an autopsy.
What Happens Next?
With their leader gone, the remaining three suspects—Ibrahim, Sulemana, and Yakubu—are currently in custody. They are expected to be hauled before the court shortly to face the full weight of the law.
Our Take: This is a massive win for the Ghana Police Service. By recovering a high-powered weapon and taking this violent crew off the board, Bolga and the surrounding mining districts just became a whole lot safer.
