  "account": "Two executives of the Botwe Old Town Taxi Rank, Eric Tettey and Abubakar Altine, were arrested by the Madina Divisional Police Command on suspicion of attempting to murder Esther Danquah. According to prosecutors, the suspects allegedly hired two armed men to carry out the murder. The arrest occurred after intelligence led to an operation on September 3, 2026, where police laid an ambush and apprehended the suspects as they allegedly prepared to execute their plot. Preliminary investigations suggest that Tettey, the former chairman, owed Danquah money and sought to avoid repayment. The two men have been detained to aid the ongoing investigation and will be arraigned once the investigation is complete.",
