Police investigations led to the identification and location of a suspect, Clement Kofi Aidoo, who is also known by the aliases Joseph Abequaye, Yaw, and Paddy.
During efforts to effect his arrest, the suspect reportedly attempted to attack officers. In the ensuing confrontation, he was shot and injured. He was subsequently rushed to the Police Hospital for medical treatment but was pronounced dead while receiving care.
The Police retrieved the stolen Toyota Hilux, the complainant’s mobile phone, and several documents from the suspect.
Further investigations revealed that in November 2025, the same suspect allegedly absconded with a Toyota Camry belonging to a police officer.
The officer had engaged the suspect through a recruitment agency to care for his ailing father. The vehicle was later recovered in the Central Region after the suspect abandoned it during a police pursuit.
The Ghana Police Service has reiterated its commitment to dismantling criminal networks, recovering stolen property, and ensuring that individuals involved in violent crimes are brought to justice.
