The Accra Central Division Police Command has arrested Reagan Kwesi Egbi Addo, alias Morgan Addo, who was on the police’s wanted list for several stealing offenses within the Accra Central Division.
A statement issued by the police revealed that the suspect was arrested following operations conducted during the Diaspora Summit 2025 held at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
The police stated that they had received information and complaints from participants at previous events held at the Accra International Conference Centre regarding the theft of personal belongings such as mobile phones, iPads, and credit cards.
The police then heightened vigilance at the ongoing Diaspora Summit 2025 and mounted an undercover operation at the venue to enhance surveillance and ensure the safety of participants.
Egbi Addo was arrested while wearing an official summit tag and posing as a legitimate participant.
However, he failed to provide a credible explanation for his presence at the event and was subsequently arrested and detained at the Ministries Police Station to assist with the investigation.
The suspect allegedly stole ATM cards by manipulating users at ATM locations and during conference meetings, swiping valuables from participants’ bags and laptops, and used the stolen cards to withdraw money from various ATMs.
According to the police, the suspect had registered for the Diaspora Summit 2025 online, which was open to the public, and gained access to the event where he committed the crimes.
The Police statement added “Police further escorted the suspect to his residence at Ashale Botwe, where a search was conducted. The search led to the recovery of eight (8) ATM cards belonging to different individuals. These include:
- GCB Ready Cash ATM Card bearing the name Angela Esi Anderson
