The Ghana Police Service is in hot pursuit of Gideon Baah, an alleged sub-chief of Feteh Kakraba, who is suspected to be at the center of a car theft ring, operating in the Greater Accra Region.
Baah, also known as “Nana,” is believed to have fled his residence at Millennium City in Kasoa, after police attempted to arrest him in connection with a series of fraudulent car rental transactions.
Baah and his alleged accomplice, Nana Anderson – who goes by several aliases, including Anderson Nana Abeka, Essel Kofi Elvis, Willson Kojo Bismark and Djan Ohene Bismark – allegedly used forged documents to rent cars under false pretences before disappearing with the vehicles.
Anderson, a 37 year old unemployed man without a permanent address, was arrested on April 5, 2025 at Atasemanso, Kumasi, following police intelligence.
He has since been put before the Circuit Court in Accra on charges of forgery of documents, abetment of crime, stealing and dishonestly receiving.
Anderson pleaded not guilty before the presiding Judge, Samuel Bright Acquah, who sat in for Jojo Amoah Hagan.
The court granted Anderson bail of GH¢200,000 with two sureties, one of whom must be justified. He is to report to the police every Wednesday at 10:00 am.
The case has been adjourned to April 23, 2025.
According to the Prosecutor, Chief Inspector Dzibordi Nego, Anderson used forged ECOWAS identity cards and driver’s licenses – bearing different names, but the same photo – to rent vehicles from unsuspecting car owners and agents.
On March 25, 2025 Anderson allegedly contacted a car rental partner of businessman Richard Gyamfi Asamoah and posed as a customer.
He rented a Hyundai Elantra with registration number GT 114-25, valued at GH¢156,000, and failed to return it.
The court was told that he immediately handed the car over to Gideon Baah at McCarthy Hills for GH¢4,000.Since the accused failed to return the car on the third day as promised, concerns were raised – particularly after it was discovered that the vehicle’s tracking device had been disabled at Dansoman.
Based on these suspicions, the complainant and the witness filed a report with the Sakumono Police. The witness had also managed to capture a photograph of Anderson during the rental transaction, which later aided the police in their investigation.
Investigations further revealed that the duo used the same scheme to steal a Kia Forte at Haatso, a Honda Civic at Amasaman, and a Kia Ultima at Spintex between January and March 2025.
Anderson, in his caution statement, admitted to the crimes and claimed Baah provided him with housing in exchange for his role in the operations.
Although police followed leads to Baah’s Millennium City residence, he was not found.
The court was further told that Baah remains at large and is being sought to face charges including forgery, abetment of stealing, and dishonestly receiving stolen property.
