The Madina Divisional Police Command has arrested two individuals, Abubakar Altine and Eric Tettey Adjetey, over an alleged plot to assassinate a susu collector at the Botwe Taxi Rank. According to a police statement, the arrests occurred on September 4, 2026, after receiving information about the planned attack.
The suspects were allegedly seen in the process of carrying out the assassination when a team of police officers laid an ambush at Botwe Old Town. Preliminary investigations revealed that Altine owed money to the complainant, Esther Dankwa, and allegedly conspired with Adjetey to arrange for her assassination following her repeated demands for repayment.
On September 7, 2026, the suspects were arraigned before the Adenta Magistrate Court, but their pleas were not accepted. They were subsequently remanded into lawful custody and are expected to appear in court again on September 22, 2026. The police stated that investigations into the case are ongoing, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
