The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with cases of murder and causing harm at Gbeniyiri.
The suspects — Yaw Bamuah, Yaa Bokaa, and Kuma Simpor — were apprehended on March 14, 2026, in a joint operation by the Police Service’s Special Intelligence Team and the Savannah Regional Police Command.
Police said during interrogation, Yaw Bamuah admitted involvement in the attack and mentioned several alleged accomplices, including Anuda Borour, Pobiye, Bitunor Sansa and James Sanyuah, who are currently being pursued by the police.
According to investigators, the suspect indicated that the attack was carried out in retaliation following the killing of a relative whom they believed had been attacked by robbers suspected to be Fulani.
Police said the suspect later led officers to his residence at Gbeniyiri, where a single-barrel shotgun with serial number BAT 2598-88 and two live AAA cartridges were retrieved from a concealed spot within the compound.
The suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations, and are expected to be put before the court.
Meanwhile, police say efforts are underway to track down and arrest the remaining suspects linked to the incident.
