On Monday, February 23, 2026, at a press briefing, IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno announced that the police had arrested four individuals linked to the alleged carjacking syndicate.
Sammy Gyamfi's father-in-law's murder, aftermath
The group's arrest came days after they allegedly carjacked and killed Andrews Amankwa, the father-in-law of GoldBod CEO and National Democratic Congress Communications Director Sammy Gyamfi, at Ohwim Tigo Junction in Kumasi on February 10, 2026.
The police stated that the deceased was ambushed and shot during the attack and that his Toyota Hilux vehicle was stolen during their operations.
Amankwa was later rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries on February 18, 2026, five days after the incident.
In his press briefing, the IGP shared that during the operation, the alleged gang leader, Eric Duku, had sustained gunshot wounds and later died at the hospital after an exchange of fire.
Following his demise, the alleged syndicate leader's wife, Patricia Osei Boateng, has been arrested and detained after the actress reported herself to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters of the Ghana Police on Thursday, February 26, 2026.
Rumours had previously emerged that the police had declared the actress wanted and launched a manhunt to apprehend her.
According to police sources, Patricia Osei is suspected of aiding her husband, believed to be the leader of a robbery network known as the Duku Syndicate, by disguising herself as a nurse to help him evade security checks during operations.
Police investigators also alleged that the Kumawood actress had travelled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates following some of the robberies.
