A mobile money (MoMo) vendor recovered the entire GH¢140,000 stolen from him after fatally shooting one of two armed robbers during an exchange of gunfire on Friday, July 3, 2026, at Lashibi in the Greater Accra Region.

The second suspect managed to escape but abandoned the stolen money while fleeing. Police later recovered the entire GH¢140,000 intact. The vendor escaped the attack unhurt. Investigators recovered an AK-47 rifle, two magazines loaded with 55 rounds of live ammunition, an additional 11 rounds of ammunition, GH¢3,000 in cash, a Samsung mobile phone, and an identification card bearing the name Innocent Elemuwa Akachukeu, aged 46, from the deceased suspect.
