The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with cases of murder and causing harm at Gbiniyiri in the Savannah Region.
In a statement issued by the Savannah Regional Police Command on March 16, 2026, the police said the arrests were carried out by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Intelligence Team in collaboration with the regional command.
The suspects, identified as Yaw Bamuah, Yaa Bokaa and Kuma Simpor, were arrested on March 14, 2026.
Police said during interrogation, Yaw Bamuah admitted involvement in the attack and mentioned several accomplices, including Anuda Borour, Pobiye, Bitunor Sansa and James Sanyuah, who are currently being pursued by the police.
The statement indicated that the suspect revealed the attack was carried out in retaliation following the killing of a relative whom they believed had been attacked by robbers suspected to be Fulani.
Police added that the suspect later led investigators to his residence at Gbiniyiri where a single-barrel shotgun with serial number BAT 2598-88 and two live AAA cartridges were retrieved from a concealed spot within the compound.
The suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations and will be put before court, while efforts have been intensified to arrest the remaining suspects connected to the incident.
