The Ghana Police Service has arrested four persons in connection with a violent robbery attack on a commercial motorbike rider at Fomena in the Ashanti South Region.
According to a statement from the police, the incident occurred on February 22, 2026. The victim reported to the Fomena Police Station with a machete injury to his left toe, explaining that he had been attacked while returning from Old Ayaase after dropping off a passenger.
He told officers that about ten tricycle operators allegedly blocked a section of the road using their tricycles and other objects, preventing him from passing.
The group reportedly assaulted him, inflicted a cut on his leg, and fled with his unregistered Haojin motorbike, estimated to be worth GH¢15,000.
Police say they responded promptly to the complaint and arrested Adom Peter, Abdul Zakari, Andy Benjamin, and a juvenile suspect within Fomena township on the same day to assist with investigations.
During the operation, officers recovered the stolen Haojin motorbike, a machete believed to have been used in the attack, a tricycle machine, and its ignition keys.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has reiterated its resolve to safeguard lives and property and encouraged members of the public to volunteer credible information to aid crime prevention and law enforcement efforts.
