Feteh Kakraba 'Sub-Chief' wanted for leading car stealing syndicate 

Court News

The Ghana Police Service is searching for Gideon Baah. He is an alleged sub-chief of Feteh Kakraba. Baah is suspected to lead a car theft ring in Greater Accra.

Baah, also known as “Nana,” fled his home in Millennium City, Kasoa. This happened after police tried to arrest him for fraudulent car rentals.

He and his accomplice, Nana Anderson, used forged documents. They rented cars under false pretenses and then disappeared with them.

Anderson has multiple aliases, including Anderson Nana Abeka and Essel Kofi Elvis. He was arrested on April 5, 2025, in Atasemanso, Kumasi.

Anderson is unemployed and has no permanent address. He appeared before the Circuit Court in Accra on several charges: forgery, abetment of crime, stealing, and dishonestly receiving stolen property.

He pleaded not guilty before Judge Samuel Bright Acquah. The court granted him bail of GH¢200,000 with two sureties. One surety must be justified. Anderson must report to the police every Wednesday at 10:00 am.

The case will continue on April 23, 2025. Chief Inspector Dzibordi Nego stated that Anderson used forged ECOWAS identity cards and driver’s licenses to rent vehicles.

On March 25, 2025, he contacted a rental partner of businessman Richard Gyamfi Asamoah. He rented a Hyundai Elantra worth GH¢156,000 but did not return it.

Anderson handed the car over to Gideon Baah at McCarthy Hills for GH¢4,000. After three days without the car's return, concerns grew when its tracking device was disabled at Dansoman.

The complainant reported this to Sakumono Police. A witness took a photo of Anderson during the rental transaction which helped police investigations.

Further investigations revealed they stole other cars using the same scheme between January and March 2025. These included a Kia Forte at Haatso and a Honda Civic at Amasaman.

In his caution statement, Anderson admitted to the crimes. He claimed Baah provided him housing in exchange for his help in these operations.

Police searched Baah’s residence but did not find him there. The court noted that Baah remains at large and is wanted for forgery and other charges related to stealing stolen property.
