Police in the Savannah Region have arrested three suspects in connection with a murder and assault incident at Gbiniyiri as part of an ongoing security operation.
According to a press release issued by the Savannah Regional Police Command, the arrests were made through a joint operation by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Intelligence Team and the regional command.
The suspects have been identified as Yaw Bamuah, Yaa Bokaa and Kuma Simpor, who were arrested on March 14, 2026.
Police said during interrogation, one of the suspects, Yaw Bamuah, admitted his involvement in the attack and provided information about several accomplices believed to have taken part in the incident. The accomplices were identified as Anuda Borour, Pobiyɛ, Bitunor Sansa and James Sanyuah, who are currently being pursued by the police.
Investigators also revealed that the suspect indicated the attack was carried out in retaliation following the killing of a relative whom they believed had been attacked by robbers suspected to be Fulani herders.
Following the disclosure, the suspect reportedly led police officers to his residence at Gbiniyiri, where a single-barrel shotgun with serial number BAT 2598-88 and two live AAA cartridges were retrieved from a concealed location within the compound.
The three suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations, while security agencies intensify efforts to apprehend the remaining suspects connected to the case.
Police say the suspects will be arraigned before court as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
