The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested a suspect in connection with a robbery that resulted in the death of a miner at Asonkore SSNIT Flats Down, a suburb of Obuasi in the Ashanti Region.
The suspect, Rahman Adams, popularly known as Wale, was apprehended on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at Pomposo following an intelligence-led operation.
The arrest is linked to a residential robbery that took place on December 12, 2025, during which armed attackers broke into a house at Asonkore. Responding officers discovered the body of a 42-year-old miner inside the residence.

Police say another suspect, identified only as A.T., a Nigerian national believed to have played a major role in the robbery and killing, is currently at large.
Items recovered at the crime scene include hammers, machetes, and cutters.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Obuasi Government Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
