Asokwa Court remands suspect in Kumasi Duku syndicate robbery case
Patricia Osei Boateng, also known as Boatema, was remanded into police custody on March 16 by the Asokwa Circuit Court 1 over her alleged role in the Duku syndicate robbery at Ohwim Tigo Junction. Presiding judge Fred Obikyere declined to take her plea and ordered that she remain in custody pending further investigations. She has been charged with abetment of crime, specifically robbery.
Her lawyer, Richard Acquah, appealed for bail, but prosecutors strongly opposed the request. Police earlier secured the remand of two key suspects, Kojo Amposah and Emmanuel Kwame Appiah, who were arraigned before the same court on March 11. Another suspect, Bashiru Tanko, remains in custody and is assisting police with investigations into multiple offences, including car snatching and robbery. According to police sources, "the network appears to be extensive, and investigations are ongoing to identify all accomplices and recover stolen assets." The case stems from a violent robbery incident at Ohwim Amanfrom on February 10, 2026, during which Andrews Amankwaa was fatally shot and his Toyota Hilux vehicle stolen.
Patricia Osei Boateng is expected to reappear before the court on March 24. Kojo Amposah and Emmanuel Kwame Appiah are scheduled to reappear on March 26.
