The sight of Adinda Abdul Mujibu, the alleged notorious armed robber, in an Accra courtroom today, brought a palpable sense of anticipation to many Accra residents. For years, they lived in fear, the victims of a string of brazen robberies that targeted some of the city’s most affluent neighborhoods. Mujibu’s extradition from Togo and subsequent court appearance mark a pivotal moment in a case that has gripped the nation. Alleged to be the leader of a sophisticated robbery group, Mujibu’s initial arrest and the chilling CCTV footage associated with his crimes, as reported by the Ghanaian Times, sparked widespread public alarm.

Today marks a significant development in the case of Adinda Abdul Mujibu, the alleged notorious armed robber, as he faces the Accra Circuit Court, bringing hope for justice to residents who were terrorized by a series of robberies between 2022 and 2024.

Mujibu’s journey to the Accra courtroom was a long and winding one. He was extradited from Togo, paving the way for his appearance before the Accra Circuit Court. The Ghanaian Times reported that the extradition followed his arrest in Lomé, Togo, on May 14, 2025, after an intensive six-month operation. This operation was a collaborative effort between the Ghana and Togo police forces, operating under the auspices of the 2003 West African Police Chiefs Committee agreement, with crucial support from Interpol.

The allegations against Adinda Abdul Mujibu paint a picture of a criminal mastermind. He is alleged to have led a group responsible for a series of high-profile robberies that struck fear into the hearts of residents in East Legon, Cantonments, Ridge, Tesano, Airport Residential Area, and Adjiriganor. These incidents, which occurred between 2022 and 2024, left many feeling vulnerable and exposed. The circulation of CCTV footage, purportedly showing Mujibu in action, only amplified the public’s anxiety and fueled the demand for his capture.

The investigation into Mujibu’s activities revealed a complex web of deception and evasion. He is known to have operated under multiple aliases, including Rashid Bawa, Maxwell, Papa Rich, and Dawa, making it difficult for authorities to track him. After narrowly escaping arrest in 2023, he fled Ghana, further complicating the efforts to bring him to justice. Adding to the challenge, Mujibu possessed both Ghanaian and Togolese identification documents, allowing him to move more freely across borders. An arrest warrant, issued by the Adabraka District Court on September 5, 2024, followed by an Interpol Red Notice, ultimately led to his capture in Lomé on January 10, 2025, according to the Ghanaian Times.

The transfer of Adinda Abdul Mujibu from Togo to Ghana involved key figures from both countries. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Lydia Yaako Donkor, the Director-General of CID, led the Ghanaian team, while Commissaire Principal de Police, Asi Elu-Ani, headed the Togolese delegation. Staff from the Ghana Embassy were also present during the transfer, underscoring the importance of the case.

The court appearance of Adinda Abdul Mujibu represents a crucial step in addressing the series of robberies that plagued Accra, offering a sense of closure to affected residents. As the legal proceedings unfold, the focus remains on ensuring justice and restoring security to the communities impacted. Follow us for up to date news.
