The complainant together with his apprentice were attacked on May 7, 2026 around 20:45 hours while travelling with a motorcycle from Brohani to Hani, with a bag containing a cash of GH?200,000.
On reaching a section of the road, a group of unidentified young men, all wielding cutlasses, emerged from a nearby bushes and attacked and robbed him.

It said receiving the information, an intelligence-led operation led to the arrest of Abuu on May 8, 2026 around 16:30 hours and upon further interrogations he confessed to the crime and mentioned other accomplices.
The statement explained that Abuu led the police to arrest the other suspects at their hideouts at Hani and Brohani, saying that the police retrieved GH?120,000 concealed in a black polythene bag from the room of Abdallah.

According to the Prosecutor, Chief Inspector Joseph Kusah, Mensah, aged 38, used a mobile phone to photograph an examination paper and shared it via WhatsApp, thereby violating Section 4(B) of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Act of 2006.

Ampah was also found to have aided candidates by dictating answers, in breach of Section 20(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, as well as Sections 9 and 6 of the WAEC Act of 2006.

Marfo and Anokye were found to have conspired to illegally obtain examination materials, contrary to Section 23 of the Criminal Offences Act and Section 3 of the WAEC Act of 2006.

The Prosecutor said the offences occurred at the Twifo Praso Senior High School examination centre, where the accused persons acted together in facilitating the malpractice.
