GCB debunks reports of robbery at Labone branch

Ghana Commercial Bank has debunked reports of an attempted robbery at its Labone Branch in Accra, assuring customers that no such incident occurred on its premises.

In a statement issued on Thursday, August 13, 2026, the bank said it had taken note of reports about an alleged robbery attempt in the Labone area, which had been linked to the bank.

GCB, however, clarified that neither its Labone Branch nor any part of its premises was targeted by robbers.

“GCB Bank wishes to clarify that no robbery or attempted robbery took place at our Labone Branch or on the Bank’s premises,” the statement said.

The bank further stated that the branch was never breached and that no customers, staff, funds or property were affected in any way.

“At no point was the branch breached, and no customer, member of staff, funds or property of the Bank was affected,” GCB added.

The clarification comes after reports emerged of a robbery attempt in the Labone area, with the Ghana Police Service saying it had foiled the operation and that two suspected robbers had been shot dead, while another was arrested.

GCB said its Labone Branch remains secure and urged customers to continue using its services with confidence.

The bank also stressed that it takes the safety of its customers, employees and facilities seriously, adding that it maintains security measures across its network.

“We remain in contact with the relevant authorities and will continue to monitor developments regarding the incident,” GCB said.
