The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested a 36-year-old Nigerian national, Emmanuel Okafor Chukwuma, for his alleged role in an armed robbery attack on a Mobile Money vendor at Avenor, Accra, which left the victim injured.
The incident occurred on June 30, 2025, around 8:30 p.m., when Chukwuma and an accomplice, riding an unregistered motorcycle, attacked the female vendor at her workplace.
The armed men reportedly fired three shots, one hitting the victim in the leg, before fleeing with her bag containing GH₵20,000.
According to a police statement signed by Head of Public Affairs, Supt. Juliana Obeng, a bystander, raised an alarm during the attack, prompting others to intervene and forcing the suspects to abandon their motorcycle.
Chukwuma was later apprehended while attempting to flee the country. Investigations revealed that he had secured travel tickets in a bid to escape to Nigeria after the robbery.
He has since been remanded into police custody by an Accra court, with his next hearing scheduled for July 30, 2025.
Police said the stolen bag was recovered with GH₵9,000 still inside and has been returned to the victim.
The Accra Regional Police Command commended the public for their swift intervention and urged continued vigilance by reporting suspicious activities via 18555 or 191.
