Two arrested over alleged plot to assassinate susu collector

The Madina Divisional Police Command apprehended two individuals suspected of plotting to murder a susu collector at Botwe Taxi Rank. The suspects identified as Abubakar Altine and Eric Tettey Adjetey, were apprehended following intelligence received by the police on September 4, 2026. Chief Superintendent of Police Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs, Accra Region, stated that a police task force had set a trap at Botwe Old Town and arrested the two men, who were allegedly in the act of executing the planned attack.

Initial investigations suggested that Altine had owed money to the complainant Esther Dankwa, and after repeated requests for repayment, allegedly colluded with Adjetey to orchestrate her assassination. The two were presented before the Adenta Magistrate Court on September 7, 2026, but their legal representatives did not present any plea, leading to their remand into custody.

They are scheduled to appear in court again on September 22, 2026, and the police have stated that the investigation remains active, with further updates to be provided later.
