Actress Patricia Osei Boateng Arrested And Seen In Handcuffs As She Cooperates With Police Over Robbery Gang Case
Kumawood actress and entrepreneur Patricia Osei Boateng has been captured by police and seen in handcuffs as part of a major investigation into an armed robbery syndicate linked to the death of a man during a violent criminal incident in Ghana. The arrest marks a dramatic development in a case that has captured public attention in recent weeks.
According to reports, Patricia Osei Boateng, who had earlier been declared wanted by the Ghana Police Service, surrendered herself and agreed to assist with ongoing investigations into the robbery gang case. The police have been probing the gang’s activities, including a fatal robbery at Ohwim Tigo Junction that left Andrews Amankwah, the father-in-law of National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications officer Sammy Gyamfi, fatally wounded.
Images and footage circulating online showed the actress in handcuffs and at the Ghana Police Headquarters in Accra where she appeared to be assisting the Criminal Investigations Department with questions. Her involvement is tied to the alleged actions of her husband, Eric Antwi Duku, who was reportedly a leader of the robbery syndicate and was shot during a police operation and later died from his injuries.
Before her arrest, police had launched a manhunt for the actress after linking her name to the gang’s operations, with authorities suggesting she may have provided assistance or association with the group’s activities. Her surrender and arrest were confirmed after her disappearance prompted public and media attention nationwide.
The Ghana Police Service has not fully disclosed the specifics of the evidence against her or any formal charges she may face. Investigators continue to work through details of the case as they seek to establish the full extent of Patricia Osei Boateng’s alleged involvement. Legal experts say cooperating with the police may influence next steps, including possible charges or court proceedings.
The case has triggered widespread discussion on social media and among Ghanaian entertainment fans, particularly because of the contrast between the actress’s public persona and the serious nature of the criminal investigation now unfolding.
