Police in Kasoa, Central Region, have recaptured Ibrahim Somaila, one of the suspects who escaped from Konongo police custody, after a tip‑off led officers to his hideout in the town.
The Kasoa Central District Command received reliable information around 10:30 pm on 2 November 2026 from an informant who said Somaila, linked to a recent robbery, was hiding in Kasoa.

D/C/Inspector Francis Afari of the Kasoa District CID, working with G/Sgt Isaac Akomanyi of the Kasoa Central District and the informant, carried out the arrest.
Somaila was then taken to the Central East Regional Police Headquarters, and Konongo Divisional Crime Officer DSP Richard Debrah has been informed. The suspect is being held for further action.
