The Ghana Gold Board (“GoldBod”) has secured the arrest of Abdul Karim Alhassan and Sadique Abubakar, two of the four individuals earlier declared wanted for their roles in an ongoing criminal prosecution for the offenses of gold smuggling, conspiracy to smuggle gold, transportation of gold without license among others.

Both suspects voluntarily turned themselves in and have since been arraigned before the High Court to face prosecution for their alleged involvement in the gold smuggling syndicate.

The court has granted them bail, the conditions of which are yet to be met. Consequently, they remain in lawful custody pending fulfillment of their bail terms and continuation of court proceedings.

Meanwhile, two other wanted individuals , Mohammed Afsal Puthalan and Mohammed Refeeq Nandoli (also known as Salam), remain at large. The public is urged to provide any information on their whereabouts to the Ghana Police Service or the GoldBod.

The bounty of One Million Ghana Cedis (GHS 1,000,000) per person remains active for credible information leading to their arrest.
