Ghana Police have arrested a Nigerian woman in connection with an early-morning robbery at Spintex in Accra, during which a 35-year-old man was robbed of cash, gold jewellery, and other valuables.
According to the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, the incident occurred in the early hours of September 14, 2025.
“At about 3:25 a.m., suspects broke into the residence and stole gold jewellery, a laptop, wristwatches, handbags, clothing, and cash, including $5,000 and GH¢21,645,” she said.
Police recovered items believed to be left behind by the suspects, including a machete, a metal cutter, and a T-shirt.
Acting on intelligence, officers arrested the suspect, Jennifer Nweke, at Adenta on September 18, recovering some of the stolen property, including jewellery, mobile phones, and cash.
The suspect also led investigators to additional hideouts. “At Agbogba, more items belonging to the complainant were retrieved,” COP Donkor said.
Further searches in Glefe and near a rubbish dump recovered a Philippine passport, two ladies’ purses with business and ATM cards, and a wrapped black polythene bag containing travel documents.
