The Northern Regional Police Command has arrested three men in connection with the alleged abduction of a resident of Dobini Bunban, a farming community near Yendi.
Mahumudu Abdulai, 32, Ganiu Sumaila, 32, and Abdulai Salam, 28, were apprehended at separate locations in Sang in the Mion District on September 29, 2026.
According to police, four armed men attacked the home of Ayuba Sumiya Mawudu, also known as Haruna, on September 25. They allegedly assaulted his brother before taking Mawudu to an undisclosed location and demanding GH¢100,000 from his family.
Mawudu subsequently escaped and received assistance from farmers in Sambu, who took him to a health facility for treatment.
Officers later interviewed him at the facility. Police said he identified the three arrested suspects from photographs.
Investigators are also examining alleged links between the suspects and other robbery incidents in the area.
The three remain in police custody as investigations continue. Officers are pursuing other suspected accomplices and working to establish the full circumstances of the abduction.
