Court remands 3 over alleged gold concentrate robbery
The Accra Circuit Court Two has remanded three persons into police custody over their alleged involvement in the robbery of gold and gold concentrate (sand containing particles of gold).
The Accra Circuit Court Two has remanded Clinton Mawuli Ashirow, Prince Duker, and Nelson Gyedu into police custody for their alleged involvement in a series of gold robbery cases. The three individuals are accused of conspiracy and robbery. Ashirow and Gyedu were alluvial miners, while Duker was a mobile money vendor. They will appear before the court on October 12, 2026.
The prosecution presented evidence of coordinated intelligence-led operations by the National Police Intelligence Directorate (PID), Ashanti North Regional PID, and Dodowa PID. These operations resulted in the arrest of Ashirow, Duker, and Gyedu at their hideouts near Obuasi. The police seized weapons, including two AK-47 assault rifles, an SMG rifle, multiple magazines, and live ammunition during the raids.
Chief Inspector Clement Jerry Acquah stated that efforts are ongoing to locate the remaining accomplices involved in these robberies.
