The Ghana Police Service has arrested three individuals in connection with cases of murder and causing harm at Gbiniyiri in the Savannah Region.
The suspects, identified as Yaw Bamuah, Yaa Bokaa and Kuma Simpor, were apprehended on March 14, 2026, during a joint operation conducted by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Intelligence Team and the Savannah Regional Police Command.
In a statement signed by ASP Richard Osei Yaw, the police confirmed that the suspects are being investigated for their alleged involvement in the violent incident.
According to the statement, one of the suspects, Yaw Bamuah, admitted during interrogation that he took part in the attack and mentioned several other individuals believed to have been involved.
The suspect reportedly identified the alleged accomplices as Anuda Borour, Pobiye, Bitunor Sansa and James Sanyuah, who are currently being pursued by the police.
Police further disclosed that the suspect explained the motive behind the attack, claiming it was carried out in retaliation after a relative was killed in an incident they believed involved robbers suspected to be Fulani.
Investigators also recovered a firearm during the operation. Police said the suspect later led officers to his residence at Gbiniyiri, where a single-barrel shotgun with serial number BAT 2598-88 and two live AAA cartridges were retrieved from a concealed location within the compound.
The suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations and are expected to be put before the court.
Meanwhile, the police say efforts are ongoing to track down and arrest the remaining individuals believed to be connected to the incident.
