In a major breakthrough, security authorities have arrested four key members of a robbery syndicate linked to the shocking murder of Mr. Andrews Amankwah, the father-in-law of Hon. Sammy Gyamfi.
The suspects were apprehended during separate intelligence-led operations carried out across Kumasi and surrounding areas.
The tragic incident occurred on February 10, 2026, at Ohwim-Amanfrom, a suburb of Kumasi, where Mr. Amankwah was reportedly attacked and killed in a robbery that sent shockwaves across the country, especially among political and social circles.
According to police sources, the suspects arrested have been identified as:
■ Akwasi Manu (47yrs) – a farmer.
■ Bashiru Tanko, also known as “TK” (33yrs).
■ Kojo Amponsah, also known as “Kamakazi” (35yrs).
■ Eric Antwi Duku (42yrs) – believed to be the gang leader.
During one of the special operations to apprehend the gang leader, Eric Antwi Duku reportedly sustained gunshot wounds. He was quickly rushed to a medical facility but was later pronounced dead while receiving treatment.
Security officials revealed that several incriminating items were recovered from the suspects during the operations. These include:
● A Bruni Mod 84 pistol.
● Eight (8) rounds of live ammunition.
● A tracking detection device.
● Forged vehicle registration documents.
● A Toyota Corolla S vehicle, which has since been impounded by authorities.
Investigators believe the recovered items played a crucial role in the planning and execution of the robbery and subsequent murder.
The arrest of the suspects marks a significant step in the ongoing investigation, as authorities intensify efforts to uncover the full network and activities of the syndicate.
Police have assured the public that they remain committed to ensuring justice is served and that anyone connected to the crime will face the full rigours of the law.
The killing of Mr. Andrews Amankwah, who was closely related to Hon. Sammy Gyamfi, drew widespread public attention and condemnation, with many calling for swift justice.
Authorities are expected to arraign the arrested suspects before court in the coming days, while investigations continue to determine whether more accomplices were involved in the deadly operation.
