The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with the robbery attack on Ahyiresu-Kwame Dwumor Sreso (KDS) road in the Nyinahin District on Sunday, April 12, which resulted in the death of Dominic Frimpong, a player of Berekum Chelsea FC.

The operation was conducted by a combined team of officers from the Police Directorate Headquarters, the Anti-Robbery Unit, CID Headquarters, the Ashanti South Police Command, and the Ashanti Regional Police Command.

Following the incident, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) deployed a team of intelligence officers to support the Regional Command in a manhunt for the perpetrators.

On April 15, 2026, an intelligence-led operation conducted by the team at Atimatim, Kumasi, led to the arrest of suspect Mohammed Ahmed, alias "I Can do", the gang leader, and suspect Bawa Gideon, after the suspects attempted to flee and fired at the police.

During the operation, the police recovered a pistol with two rounds of 32 ammunition, eleven BB cartridges, a "blantine", pepper spray, desert boots, assorted mobile phones, and a black pullover.

According to the police statement, during interrogation, suspect Mohammed Ahmed admitted involvement in several robberies, including the Nkawie robbery, the Fufuso mobile vender attack, and the attack on the Berekum Chelsea FC.

He also named accomplices identified as Dauda, Huefe and A.T., who are currently on the run.

The statement further explained that Mohammed Ahmed, alias "I can do", is receiving treatment under police guard at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), while Bawa Gideon remains in custody assisting with investigations.

Meanwhile, the police say that Dauda, Huefe and A.T. have been declared wanted, and they are appealing to the public for information that could lead to their arrest.

The Police Command commended the officers and men involved in the operation for their relentless efforts and professionalism in apprehending the suspects.

The Command also acknowledged the public and community members for their cooperation and support, which contributed significantly to this breakthrough.

It reassured that efforts are ongoing to arrest the remaining members of the gang, and that the suspects will be taken before the court to face the full rigours of the law.
