Preliminary investigations revealed that Mohammed and a deceased accomplice hired the services of an okada rider, Muntari Zakari, from Kwabenya to Sibakon Hospital.
Upon reaching their destination, they reportedly attacked the rider with a locally manufactured pistol and a stone, robbing him of his iPhone 13 Pro and demanding the key to his unregistered Royal motorbike.
The victim raised an alarm, leading to the lynching of one of the suspects by members of the public, while Mohammed allegedly fled with the stolen phone.
A search conducted at Mohammed’s residence in Abokobi led to the retrieval of several items, including a cutter, two pairs of scissors, two hammers, a hacksaw, a cutlass, a jack knife, a saw, and three mobile phones.
Further investigations resulted in the arrest of 37-year-old Kwame Accolor, also known as Small Kidi, at Anyako in the Volta Region. He is alleged to have purchased the stolen iPhone 13 Pro for GH¢800.
Police say efforts are ongoing to retrieve the locally manufactured pistol used in the robbery. The accused persons have been arraigned before court. Mohammed, who pleaded guilty to robbery, is awaiting sentencing, which has been deferred to March 10, 2026.
The Eastern Regional Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to intensifying intelligence-led operations to ensure the safety and security of residents.
