The Eastern Regional Police Command has arrested a 57-year-old man suspected of being responsible for multiple shoplifting incidents across parts of southern Ghana, following the circulation of videos of the alleged thefts on social media.
A police source said the suspect, Nsiah Samuel, a self-acclaimed chief and minister of the gospel residing at Akrade in the Eastern Region, was arrested on November 5, 2026, by the Somanya District Police Command, acting on intelligence gathered in collaboration with the Borteyman Police in Accra.
According to a statement signed by Bridget Opoku, Chief Inspector (C/Inspector), of the Public Affairs Unit of the Eastern Regional command, the suspect, upon interrogation, admitted to stealing consumable items, electronics, clothing and other shop goods from retail outlets across Kibi, Suhum, Ashaiman, Accra Central, Koforidua, Tema, Akosombo, Adenta and other locations in the southern part of Ghana.
The suspect has since been handed over to the Borteyman Police for further investigation.
