A third suspect, according to the Police, is reportedly on the run.

On December 30, 2022, the assailants shot the 28-year-old Mobile Money dealer Michael Anderson at a public toilet in Buduburam.

On January 5, 2023, Michael passed away while being treated at the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital.
