The Ghana Police Service in the Savannah Region has arrested three suspects in connection with a murder and assault incident that occurred at Gbiniyiri.
According to the police, the suspects; Yaw Bamuah, Yaa Bokaa and Kuma Simpor, were arrested on March 14, 2026, by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Intelligence Team in collaboration with the Savannah Regional Police Command.
In a statement issued in Damongo and signed by ASP Richard Osei Yaw on Monday, March 16, the police said one of the suspects, Yaw Bamuah, admitted his involvement in the attack during interrogation and mentioned several alleged accomplices.
The statement further indicated that the accomplices, identified as Anuda Borour, Pobiye, Bitunor Sansa and James Sanyuah, are currently being pursued by the police.
