Police inspector interdicted, remanded over alleged robbery attack on MoMo vendor
Bright Appiah Dankwah, a police inspector, was interdicted over his alleged involvement in a robbery attack targeting a mobile money vendor in Kumasi. The arrest was made by the Ashanti Regional Anti-Robbery Unit following what police described as "intelligence-led operations." A search at the officer's residences led to the retrieval of a Bruni Mod. 92 gas pistol, ammunition and an amount of GH¢9,835 in cash.
The officer has been interdicted in line with internal disciplinary procedures pending the outcome of investigations into the alleged robbery case. The development has sparked fresh public concern over isolated cases involving security personnel and criminal activities, particularly attacks targeting mobile money operators. Mobile money vendors across Ghana have in recent years repeatedly called for enhanced protection following a series of armed robbery incidents. The police administration has reiterated its commitment to enforcing discipline within the service and ensuring that any officer found engaging in criminal conduct faces the full rigours of the law.
Bright Appiah Dankwah was arraigned before the Atasemanso Circuit Court on May 11, 2026, where he was remanded into police custody. He is expected to reappear before the court on May 29, 2026, as investigations continue.
