Awutu Senya East MP's bodyguards arrested for alleged gold robbery

The suspects reportedly used tactical uniforms resembling those of military and police personnel during the incident. The victim, George Osei Tutu, a gold dealer, was allegedly transporting gold valued at GH₵165,000 when he was intercepted and robbed. Police investigations were aided by Justice Mingle allegedly leaving his wallet, containing identification, at the scene.

Mingle was arrested at Nyanano and reportedly confessed, leading officers to his alleged accomplice, Justice Mensah, in Akweley. Further investigations suggest the victim's excavator driver, Festus, may have provided information facilitating the robbery. Both suspects are currently standing trial before the Bekwai Circuit Court.
