The suspects allegedly made away with 751 bags of 50kg organic fertiliser, valued at GHS 431,825.
A second robbery was recorded on June 14, 2026, when armed men overpowered security personnel at the Mummy’s Recipe Warehouse in Tema Community One.
The attackers reportedly escaped with about 2,000 bags of Aaba rice and other food items.
Following intelligence-led operations, police traced parts of the stolen goods to warehouses within the Tema enclave, leading to further investigations and the identification of suspects believed to be involved in both incidents.
On June 16, 2026, coordinated police operations led to the arrest of six individuals identified as Akala Kudus, Shaibu Dauda, Abdul Rahman Moro, Giya Hudu, Razak Seidu, and Francis Ayinsabga.
Police recovered 717 bags of rice and 600 bags of fertiliser during the operations. The items have since been secured as exhibits to aid ongoing investigations.
