How key Sakumono murder suspect was smoked out from hideout near Ejisu

Police in the Ashanti Region have arrested the principal suspect in the murder of two people at the NTHC estate in Sakumono.

Samuel Christopher Osei Anto, aged 72, was arrested on Sunday, 1st November 2026, at his hideout at Tikrom near Ejisu in the Ashanti Region.

His arrest follows the murder of Irene Atuguba, aged 47, and George Atuguba, aged 57.

Preliminary investigations into the incident had indicated that the murders allegedly arose from a financial dispute involving the deceased, George Atuguba, and the suspect, who had allegedly borrowed GH¢500,000.00 but failed to repay the money.

During the operation, a Smith & Wesson pistol together with seven (7) rounds of live ammunition was retrieved from him.

Samuel Christopher Osei Anto is currently in police custody assisting investigations, while the recovered firearm and ammunition have been retained as exhibits.
