Man arrested with stolen police handset, gun and tramadol

The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested a man suspected of being involved in multiple criminal activities, including unlawful possession of a firearm, narcotics, and stolen items, following an intelligence-led operation in Accra.

The suspect, identified as Suleiman Danjumah, also known as Solomon Addai and Innocent, was arrested on December 10, 2025, barely weeks after he had been granted bail by the Adabraka District Court on November 25, 2025, in connection with an earlier offence involving a Smith and Wesson pistol and 30 rounds of 9mm ammunition.

According to a press release issued by the Regional Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service on December 12, 2025, operatives from the Accra Regional Police Command, working in collaboration with the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID), acted on credible intelligence to apprehend the suspect.

A search conducted during the operation led to the retrieval of an unregistered 9mm Parabellum Arcus 94 pistol, military uniforms and caps, a Police Huawei handset, four assorted mobile phones, a shocker, a jack knife, 34 blisters of Tramadol 225mg, and an unregistered jungle motorbike.

Further investigations revealed that the suspect had admitted to dealing in narcotics around Las Vegas, Achimota, and had allegedly fired warning shots during a confrontation with another suspected drug dealer, Mutala Mohammed. Mutala was subsequently arrested, and a search of his premises uncovered two parcels of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp and 19 blisters of Tramadol 120mg, commonly referred to as “Red”.

Police also disclosed that Suleiman Danjumah mentioned one Usman Ali as the source of the firearm currently under investigation. Preliminary checks further confirmed that the Police Huawei handset found in his possession had been stolen from a police officer, deepening concerns about the suspect’s criminal network and activities.

The Ghana Police Service says investigations are ongoing to trace all accomplices connected to the case and to establish the full extent of the suspect’s involvement in organised crime, particularly narcotics distribution and illegal firearm possession.

The Police have assured the public of their commitment to intensifying intelligence-led operations to clamp down on crime and safeguard public safety, especially in urban centres where drug-related activities continue to pose serious security risks.
