The Ghana Police Service has finally apprehended one Michael Owusu Ansah, alias Baby Last, who had been on the wanted list since 2016 for his involvement in a robbery and murder of Police Officer G/Cpl Frank Essel of SWAT/Ashanti.

The officer was murdered at the Open Space Hotel in Denchemuoso on 19th May.

Acting on intelligence following a series of robbery incidents in the Denchemuoso District, the PID/Ashanti operatives arrested Michael on April 22.

According to the police, the suspect "confessed to engaging in multiple street and residential robberies in Denchemuoso, Atwima-Techiman, Asuoyeboah, and surrounding areas."

"He also disclosed that his gang operated with knives, pistols, and pump-action guns," the police further added.

Michael's collaboration led to the arrest of his gang, comprising Emmanuel Owusu, alias Cassidy, Maxwell Gyimah, alias Nana Kwame, Sudais Oxford Ntiamoah, alias The Man Sudais, and Rhano Okyere, alias Demon.

They were arrested at their hideouts within Atwima-Techiman and Denchemuoso. Unfortunately, a suspect remains at large. However, the police say efforts are underway to apprehend him and recover the weapons used in the robberies.

On May 13, the five suspects appeared before the Atasomanso Circuit Court and have been remanded into police custody.

They are scheduled to reappear on 4th June.
