40-year-old was arrested on 8th April 2026 at about 3:00 pm, from his hideout at Adjen Kotoku.
“The suspect is currently in Police custody assisting investigations, while efforts are ongoing to locate and arrest other individuals connected to the incident,” the statement concluded.
Ghana Police Service launched a manhunt for individuals involved in a disturbance and the unlawful discharge of firearms at the Kotoku Onion Market in the Adjen Kotoku area.
The unrest stemmed from tensions among five onion sellers’ associations.
