The facts behind the arrest of the three members of the syndicate—Muntakilu Saddick, a former merchant; Isaac Amejor, who was fired from the Ghana Army; and Michael Baffour, who was fired from the Ghana Police Service—have come to light even though they were remanded in custody. The three individuals had organized a robbery gang that preyed on innocent bystanders as well as people who went to different financial institutions to use their withdrawal transfer services, especially those who took out large amounts of cash. According to The Chronicle newspaper, they are said to have carried out their evil deeds in the Accra suburbs of Dansoman and Ashaley-Botwe School Junction. The trio's once-powerful robbery ring was busted after one of these robberies.
In a section of the road next to Ability Microfinance, the accused individuals and a second person in a cab who was still at large crossed the commercial vehicle and pulled the complainant out.
The complainant was coerced into their cab by Isaac, who was wearing a police uniform, and they took her to a location close to the University of Ghana Medical Centre. The accused individuals threatened to kill the complainant if she continued to shout for assistance, according to the report. After handcuffing their victim, the men reportedly tased her before stealing her luggage, which contained GH40,700 and an iPhone 11 Pro Max worth GH9,500.

The three men had formed a robbery syndicate that targeted innocent citizens, as well as other persons who visit various financial institutions to transact withdrawal transfer services, especially those who withdraw bulk cash. They are reported, by The Chronicle newspaper, to have undertaken their nefarious activities at Ashaley-Botwe School Junction and Dansoman, all suburbs of Accra. It was following one of such robberies that the once thriving robbery syndicate of the trio was busted. According to a report by the newspaper, ASP Emmanuel Haliga told the court that the syndicate executed their tactics on a nurse (name withheld), robbing her of GH¢40,700. The nurse had gone to withdraw the said amount of money from a bank branch at Adjiringanor, with the intention to use it for a building project.
She then boarded a commercial vehicle which was headed towards Ashaley-Botwe, but she was intercepted on the way.
