Mamoud is alleged to be the mastermind behind a group linked to several high-profile robbery operations carried out between April and September 2025.
The incidents reportedly took place in areas including Westlands, Takoradi, and Dzorwulu, where jewellery and gold valued at millions of Ghana cedis were taken during the attacks.
Investigators further allege that Mamoud used part of the proceeds from the incidents to purchase a Toyota FJ Cruiser before his arrest in March 2026.
The suspects in the case have been identified as Abdul Aziz Mahmoud, also known as Justin Martin, 40; Abubakar Mahmoud, 28; Edgar Donkor, 33; and Donatus Donkor, 37.
The court, after considering the case, granted bail to the accused persons under strict conditions.

Bail terms set for four suspects
Mamoud and one other accused were each granted bail of ¢2 million with three sureties, two of which must be justified. A third accused was granted ¢1 million bail under similar surety requirements, while the fourth accused was granted ¢200,000 bail with three sureties, two of which must also be justified.
All accused persons are required to report to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, except the fourth accused, who is required to report on Mondays and Fridays.
As part of the bail conditions, all travel documents, including passports, as well as the Ghana Card of the fourth accused, have been seized by the court to prevent any risk of absconding.
The case remains before the court as investigations continue into the alleged network and its operations across multiple regions in the country.

Akuapem Poloo clarifies link with robbery suspects
Earlier, Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Akuapem Poloo responded to online speculation connecting her to a group of suspected criminals recently arrested for jewellery store robberies.
The controversy arose after a video resurfaced, showing two of the suspects visiting Poloo’s shop at Osu Blue Gate, where she sells provisions such as her popular Tom Brown powder and natural honey.
In the Facebook video, Poloo was seen holding one of her products while interacting with Abdul Aziz Mamoud, a mixed-race man, and Edgar Dongar, known in the fashion industry.
Another clip on Facebook showed the two men, aged 40 and 33 respectively, among the four arrested in connection with a spree of jewellery store robberies.

Watch the interview Akuapem Poloo granted Okay FM in the TikTok video below.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, Poloo clarified her connection to the men, claiming they were not friends, as many had speculated.
“I only met them that day because they came to purchase from my shop. Whenever I am around, I often record videos of customers for promotion, but I always ask for their permission first. That video was one of many; it does not mean I know them personally, and I have not seen them since.”
Poloo added that she only became aware of the arrests four days later, when social media users began tagging her and linking her to the robbery suspects.
“People were saying the police should call me to assist with investigations. Investigations for what? I don’t know them. In the video, you can clearly see I was only showing my products to them for sale,” she emphasised.
