Victoria Arko, a Mobile Money (MoMo) vendor robbed at gunpoint by a police inspector, identified as Bright Appiah Danquah, and his accomplices, has broken her silence.
According to the MoMo vendor, the Police Inspector pulled a gun on her, threatened to shoot her 1-year-old son, and herself should she raise an alarm.
She detailed that she was at her shop when the attack happened in broad daylight on May 4, 2026.
Victoria Arko disclosed that the Police Inspector and his accomplices allegedly stole GH¢38,600 from her.
Speaking to Crime Check TV on May 11, 2026, the MoMo vendor narrated, “I am a Mobile Money (MoMo) vendor. On May 4, 2026, around 1 pm, a motor rider came to my shop after parking at a distance. He told me to give him my number for someone to make a monetary transaction on it, which I refused”.
“I entered the shop, which had CCTV installed, and he immediately came to stand at the door and pulled a gun on me in broad daylight. He demanded for my money, and I gave it to him,” she recounted.
She continued, “He told me to be fast and threatened to shoot me and my one-year-old son if I drew attention to him. I urinated on myself out of fear, with some of the urine splashing on my son. He drove away with all my money”.
“The amount of money he took away was GH¢38,600, including my Ghana Card, ATM, two phones, and other valuables”.
“Not knowing that the day the robber stole from me, he had robbed other vendors too before approaching me, so we were three victims for that particular day,” she added.
Victoria Arko further added, “Though the man’s face was not captured in the footage because he was wearing a cap, the conversation he had with me and the gun he pulled were captured. At the police station, the commander showed me a picture and asked if it was the person who robbed me, and I confirmed affirmatively.
“I was then taken to the Anti-Robbery unit to give my statement. They called some days after to come and confirm the identity of someone they had in custody. Not knowing the man who robbed me was a police inspector,” she said.
She added, “Before his arrest, he had robbed two other persons. One of the victims managed to escape after the man pulled a gun on her. The robber, while picking up the money from the lady’s shop, mistakenly left his phone behind”.
“So, the lady carried it to the police station as evidence. At the same time, the said police officer had gone to the police to lodge a complaint that his phone had gone missing, so they should track its location,” she narrated.
“Through his phone, they realised he was a police officer. He has since been arrested, and they have been remanded. They are four in number, two are police officers, and two are civilians,” she stated.
Meanwhile, the Police Inspector, has been identified as Bright Appiah Danquah, has been arrested in Kumasi in connection with an alleged MoMo robbery.
Reports suggest the Police Inspector was arrested for his alleged involvement in a series of armed robbery attacks targeting mobile money vendors across Kumasi.
The Police Inspector’s cup became full when he allegedly left his mobile phone at one of the robbery scenes, a development that later became a key lead in ongoing police investigations.
According to reports, he later visited the police station to officially report the device as stolen, only for investigators to allegedly connect the phone and other evidence to several similar robbery incidents in Kumasi.
The Ghana Police, in a press release issued by the Public Affairs Unit of the Ashanti Regional Police Command on Monday, May 11, said the suspect was arrested by the Regional Anti-Robbery Unit following intelligence-led operations.
They also disclosed that a search conducted at his residence led to the retrieval of a Bruni Model 92 gas pistol, ammunition, and cash amounting to GHS 9,835.
The police statement added that the officer has since been interdicted as investigations continue into the case.
According to the police, the suspect was arraigned before the Atasemanso Circuit Court on Monday, May 11, 2026, and has been remanded into police custody.
The Police Inspector is expected to reappear in court on May 29, 2026.
