The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that the Asokwa Circuit Court 1 has remanded Patricia Osei Boateng, popularly known as Boatema, into police custody over her alleged involvement in a robbery syndicate operating at Ohwim Tigo Junction.
The court ordered her remand on March 16 as investigations into the group, believed to be linked to the so-called Duku syndicate, continue. She has been charged with abetment of crime, specifically robbery, and is expected to reappear in court on March 24.
During the hearing, her lawyer, Richard Acquah, applied for bail, but prosecutors opposed the request. Presiding judge Fred Obikyere declined to take her plea and ordered that she remain in custody pending further investigations.
Earlier, two key suspects—Kojo Amposah and Emmanuel Kwame Appiah—were also remanded by the same court on March 11 after being charged with robbery. They are scheduled to reappear on March 26.
Another suspect, Bashiru Tanko, remains in custody and is assisting police with investigations into multiple offences, including car snatching and robbery.
Police say the syndicate appears to be extensive, with ongoing efforts to identify other accomplices and recover stolen items.
The case is linked to a deadly robbery at Ohwim Amanfrom on February 10, 2026, where Andrews Amankwaa was shot and killed and his Toyota Hilux vehicle stolen.
Authorities describe recent arrests as a major breakthrough and say they remain committed to ensuring justice while protecting the public.
