Police forward Ashie Moore case docket to AG for prosecution over alleged theft

The Ghana Police Service has recently forwarded the case file of Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, to the Attorney-General’s Department for potential prosecution, according to the source. This development comes after Ashie Moore was accused of stealing from Singaporean businessman Toh You Kang in June 2025.

The alleged theft involved taking the businessman's passport, luxury luggage, electronic gadgets, US$10,000 in cash, and other personal items while Ashie Moore was in police custody. The Attorney-General’s Department had already advised in March 2026 that Ashie Moore should be prosecuted for the alleged theft. The police investigation began following a complaint lodged by Toh You Kang, who claimed that Ashie Moore held him in custody and demanded money in exchange for his freedom.

CCTV footage and a cybercrime analysis report were part of the evidence collected during the investigation. The case has been under investigation since 2025, and the forwarding of the case file to the Attorney-General’s Department brings it closer to prosecution.
