Police have arrested the most wanted man in Ghana. Atta Ayi was arrested on Monday afternoon at his hideout in the Teshie Tsui Bleo surburb of Accra. His girlfriend, suspected to be an accomplice, was also arrested in the raid. According to police Atta Ayi is the brain behind most of the brutal armed robberies in Accra. He and members of his gang are alleged to have forcibly stolen money, cars, jewelry and other valuables from various people in the national capital. They are also alleged to have murdered several people who resisted their attacks. Recently, the gang is said to have adopted a new strategy of trailing people who go to banks to collect money. They usually follow their victims into secluded locations where they threaten them with death if they do not give up their monies. Police have been on Atta Ayi's heels for months. His deputy, Emmanuel Tetteh, also known as Mpata, was arrested last week. It is believed that information provided by Mpata might have helped to track down the elusive Atta Ayi. Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, Kofi Boakye says with the arrest of Atta Ayi and his gang ga whole generation of armed robbers has been broken up. Now, he says, the police can now concentrate on tracking a new up and coming but less-hardened armed robbers.
