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

The Ghana Police Service has forwarded the case file of Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, to the Attorney-General’s Department for potential prosecution over allegations of theft from a Singaporean businessman, Toh You Kang. The decision to forward the docket followed the Attorney-General’s Department's advice in March 2026 that Ashie Moore should be prosecuted.

Ashie Moore denies any wrongdoing, calling the allegations a smear campaign against his political reputation. The case began when Toh You Kang, who had travelled to Ghana for a business investment, was accused of defrauding Ashie Moore by taking his passport, luxury luggage, electronic devices, and $10,000 in cash while he was in police custody in June 2025.

CCTV footage and cybercrime analysis from the Fiesta Residences hotel in Accra provided evidence of the incident. Toh You Kang has been held in custody since his arrest and has vehemently denied the charges.
