The Ghana Police Service has arrested a suspect in connection with a shooting incident that disrupted activities at the Adjin Kotoku Onion Market earlier this month.
The incident, which occurred on April 5, 2026, created panic among traders and residents, forcing many to flee the busy market as gunfire rang out and business was brought to a halt. Authorities say the disturbance raised concerns about safety in the area, prompting a swift security response.
Following the incident, a team of surveillance officers from the Special Operations Assistant (SOA) to the Inspector-General of Police was deployed to the area to begin intelligence-led investigations and track down those responsible.
On April 8, 2026, at about 3:00 pm, police arrested a 40-year-old man, identified as Inusah Seidu, at his hideout in Adjin Kotoku. He is suspected to have played a role in the shooting.
The suspect is currently in police custody assisting with investigations, while efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend other individuals believed to be involved in the incident.
Police have assured the public that they are working to restore calm and ensure that all perpetrators are brought to justice.
