On February 18, 2026, reports emerged that Andrews Amankwaa, the father-in-law of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) politician Sammy Gyamfi, had died.
He reportedly sustained serious injuries in an armed criminal attack on February 12, 2026, when he was ambushed by carjackers in the Ashanti Region while driving a Toyota Hilux pickup truck.
After his death, the Ghana Police Service launched a manhunt which swiftly led to the arrest of the members of a carjacking syndicate.
The group’s leader, Eric Antwi Duku, was killed in a gunfight with police during the attempt to arrest him.
Patricia Osei Boateng was later identified as a potential accessory by police and arrested.
She was placed before the Asokwa Circuit Court 2 for a hearing on Monday, March 16, 2026, during which her lawyer, Richard Acquah Esq, applied for bail on her behalf.
The court, presided over by Her Honour Mrs Vida Achiaa Yeboah, denied the bail and remanded the Kumawood actress to prison to reappear on March 24, 2026.
Below is a Facebook post with details of Patricia Osei Boateng being remanded into custody.
