Ghana Police Declare Gang Leader 'Hoyeefi' Wanted with GH¢50,000 Bounty for Ahafo Robberies

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has officially declared a suspect known as 'Hoyeefi' wanted in connection with a series of violent robberies across the Ahafo Region. To accelerate his capture, authorities have announced a substantial reward of GH¢50,000 for any member of the public who provides credible information leading to his arrest. The move underscores the police's commitment to dismantling organized crime syndicates that have increasingly targeted local communities and institutions in the region.

Investigations led by Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo identify Hoyeefi as the alleged mastermind behind a string of coordinated attacks. A particularly significant incident occurred on December 2, 2025, when a gang linked to the suspect reportedly targeted several local institutions in a high-profile raid. The police believe that apprehending Hoyeefi is critical to breaking the operational backbone of the criminal group and restoring a sense of security to residents and business owners who have been living under the threat of these violent incursions.

The Ghana Police Service has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any sightings of the suspect to the nearest police station or through official emergency hotlines. While the GH¢50,000 bounty serves as a strong incentive for public cooperation, officials emphasized that all information provided will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. This manhunt represents a broader effort by the national security apparatus to heighten surveillance and proactive policing in regions identified as hotspots for armed robbery and gang-related activities.
