In Assin Manso, Central Region, a 37-year-old herbalist and self-proclaimed spiritualist, Enock Antwi, known as Nana Kakali, has been held in police custody for two weeks on charges of stealing a Hyundai Atos taxi belonging to a local driver. Described by authorities as a notorious car thief, Nana Kakali was apprehended on August 23, 2026, at his hideout in Agona Swedru following intelligence-led investigations into the disappearance of the taxi.
He was arraigned at the Assin Fosu District Court, where a prosecutor argued for his remand in custody to facilitate the police investigation. The court agreed, and Nana Kakali is set to appear before the same court on September 8, 2026. The victim, Benjamin Akyerefi Baidoo, is a taxi driver who met Nana Kakali while in Assin Manso to buy a dove for spiritual reasons.
Over the course of a few days, they developed a relationship, with Nana Kakali professing to help with the complainant's spiritual concerns. On July 17, 2026, the complainant went to Nana Kakali's home to pick up items for his sister. Instead of assisting further, Nana Kakali left and the taxi vanished. The complainant filed a report with the police and investigators tracked Nana Kakali to his hideout using telecommunications records.
After being arrested, he confessed to selling the stolen taxi for GH¢7,000, receiving GH¢2,500 upfront, and later led authorities to the vehicle in Suhum.
