The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with the Togolese Police, has arrested notorious armed robbery suspect Adina Akpo Abdou Moudjibou, alias Mohammed Djandjo, from his hideout in Togo following the issuance of an INTERPOL red notice.
The suspect, believed to be behind a series of high-profile robberies in affluent Accra neighbourhoods such as East Legon and Cantonments between 2022 and 2024, was arrested by Togolese authorities on January 30, 2025. He was handed over to the Ghana Police on May 12, 2025, under a regional cooperation agreement signed in Accra in December 2003.
Speaking at a press briefing in Accra on Saturday, the Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, DCOP Lydia Yaako Donkor, confirmed the arrest and extradition of the suspect.
“The GPS has been pursuing a known armed robbery suspect, Adina Akpo Abdou Moudjibou, whose activities have been captured in various CCTV footages and circulated widely on social media,” she said.
She explained that the suspect primarily targeted high-profile individuals residing in elite communities including East Legon, Cantonments, Ridge, Tesano, Airport Residential Area, and Adjiringano.
“These criminal activities were primarily targeted at high-profile individuals residing in communities such as East Legon, Cantonments, Ridge, Tesano, Airport Residential Area, and Adjiringano within the Greater Accra metropolis between 2022 and 2024,” DCOP Donkor added.
She also recalled a public assurance made by the police in a 2023 social media post: “On 3rd October 2023, you recall that the Ghana Police Service in a Facebook post assured the public that we were actively pursuing this case.”
Following that assurance, the police intensified security operations and intelligence-gathering in the affected areas. Their efforts culminated in a formal operation to retrieve the suspect.
“We are pleased to announce that on Wednesday, 14th May 2025, at approximately 08:30 hours, a five-member delegation from Ghana, led by myself, departed Accra aboard a military aircraft to Lome, Togo, to officially receive suspect Adina Akpo Abdou Moudjibou, who had been arrested and was in the custody of the Togolese authorities,” she stated
