Reports say three of them were arrested at Gausu, a suburb of Obuasi while one is said to be in the Northern region.

A pump-action gun and 5 cartridges were reportedly retrieved from them after their arrest, Mynewsgh.com reported.

The three men arrested so far have been identified as Rev. Alfred Dakorah aged 43, founder and overseer of God’s Time Ministry, Emmanuel Dakorah popularly known as Obour aged 26 and Richard Suleiman aged 28.

They have been interrogated and detained to help the police with their investigation. 

The Deputy Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP David Agymang Adjem, who addressed journalists in Kumasi said the Command will rely on public information in their investigations.

“These young men have been variously described as robbers in both the print and radio, as well as on social media. These three men are in our custody in relation to the video and pictures we have seen. We have retrieved the pump-action gun, as you can see. There is a fourth suspect whom we are trying to also arrest.”

“We will keep them in custody as we investigate the issue. They have denied as you have seen in other videos that they are not criminals, and so the Command would like to appeal to anybody, for that matter the public, especially those who allege any criminal activity against these young men to come forward, give us information so that we can put them before the court.”

A disturbing video surfaced on social media on Tuesday, June 15 which showed the suspects displaying various guns unapologetically while boasting that they have been criminals for a long time.

The brazen young men gathered under a tree with a motorbike parked beside them as they engage in the terrifying exercise.

Interestingly, they did not even bother to hide their identities; they are seen in the video laughing loudly as they display what would undoubtedly be illegally acquired firearms.

“We have been committing crimes for a long time,” one of the young men bragged in local dialect Twi while another too warned: “everybody should run”.

The worrying video emerged just a day after a police officer Constable Emmanuel Osei who was escorting a bullion van was shot to death at James Town in Accra after an attack on the vehicle by unknown gunmen on motorbikes.

Another woman, a trader who was selling inside a kiosk by the roadside was also hit by a stray bullet, leading to her death instantly as she tried to escape just like others bystanders in the busy area.

The criminals fired gunshots sporadically and succeeded in escaping with an undisclosed amount of money in broad daylight.
