SIX ARRESTED FOR IMPERSONATING SECURITY OPERATIVES IN CENTRAL REGION

Six men who disguised themselves as military and immigration officers to terrorise Chinese workers at a manufacturing company in the Central Region have been arrested by police, the Ghana Police Service has announced.

The police, in a statement issued through their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, said the incident happened on Tuesday, May 6, 2026, around noon, at S.I. Jun Manufacturing Company Limited at Agona Akwakwa near Mankrong Nkwanta. According to the statement, the suspects arrived in a Toyota Land Cruiser with registration number GW 8887-V, claiming to be National Security operatives.

The police said three of them wore Ghana Immigration Service camouflage uniforms, one wore a military uniform, and two others were in plain clothes. Once inside the company, they assaulted and harassed three Chinese nationals — Man Guan, Chin Min, and MA Kaixiang — and handcuffed all three.

The Agona Swedru District Police Command, the statement noted, received a distress call and quickly deployed officers to the scene. They found the vehicle parked at the location and the three Chinese nationals still in handcuffs.

All six suspects were arrested immediately.
The police identified the suspects as Agyemang Benjamin, 32; Mahama Iddrisu Dawuda Seidu, 48; Ofori Isaac, 35; Adom Bills, 32; Hayford Boafo, 47; and Ato Mchenry, 48.

According to the Ghana Police Service, all six are currently in custody at the Agona Swedru District Police Headquarters.

The police said investigations are ongoing.
