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.
