The Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has deployed personnel from the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) Headquarters and the Anti-Armed Robbery Unit (AARU) to the Bono East and Northern Regions to track down suspects behind two fatal robbery attacks on May 2, 2026.
The deployments are to support ongoing operations and lead a manhunt for the perpetrators, the Ghana Police Service said in a statement.

The robbers shot and killed two people and injured others after robbing the attendant of cash.
In a separate attack, another group of armed men ambushed a passenger bus near Nasia along the Bolgatanga–Tamale Highway.
