The suspects, Iddrisu Abass, alias Jango, who is believed to be the ring leader and, Dawda Mohammed Nazir, were arrested at Kintampo and Wenchi in the Bono and Bono East regions respectively on 8th January, 2023.

In the course of the arrest, suspect, Jango, shot and wounded one of the police officers. The officers returned fire and shot him in the leg.
Both the injured officer and the injured suspect are receiving medical attention and are in stable condition.
Following the arrest, some youth of Wenchi massed up to attack the police team but police have since restored law and order in the area.
