Atubiga also expressed gratitude to the security services and members of the public who contributed to the suspect's arrest.

The Ghana Police Service arrested the suspect on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at a hideout in Tikrom near Ejisu in the Ashanti Region.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the killings may have stemmed from an unresolved financial dispute involving a GH¢500,000 loan allegedly borrowed by the suspect from George Atubiga.

During the arrest, police reportedly retrieved a Smith & Wesson pistol and seven rounds of live ammunition.

The suspect remains in police custody to assist with o

ongoing investigations.
