A suspected armed robber and murder suspect has died after sustaining gunshot wounds during a police intelligence-led operation at Cherimbo in the Prang District of the Bono East Region.
The deceased, identified as Amadu Mammaa, was being pursued by the Bono East Regional Police Intelligence Directorate with support from the National Police Intelligence Directorate on Monday, April 13, 2026.
According to police, the suspect was shot during an exchange of fire with officers during the operation.
He was rushed to the Holy Family Hospital for emergency treatment but was pronounced dead on arrival.
A search conducted on him led to the retrieval of a foreign-made pistol loaded with four rounds of 7.65mm ammunition, a cutlass, and three talismans.
Police investigations have linked him to the murder of Hawa Yakubu on March 9, 2026, at Jerusalem near Mpaha in the Savannah Region, as well as a robbery attack on two victims at Bompa near Ejura in the Ashanti Region on February 23, 2026.
The body has since been deposited at the Holy Family Hospital morgue, while investigations continue.
