Accra, Ghana – The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has arrested Mavis Nkrumah, 30, in connection with an alleged acid attack on her ex-boyfriend, Gideon Frimpong, 29, in Ablekuma Fan Milk.
Preliminary investigations indicate that Nkrumah arrived unannounced at Frimpong’s home around 1:00 a.m. on May 28, 2025. Frimpong, a taxi driver, agreed to drive her home after a brief conversation. However, upon reaching a rough section of road near Ofankor, the 7days stretch, Frimpong asked Nkrumah to exit the vehicle due to the road conditions. At this point, Nkrumah questioned him about their relationship. After he confirmed their breakup for a third time, she allegedly poured a substance suspected to be acid on him.
Frimpong was quickly identified by bystanders and transported to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, from which he has since been discharged. Nkrumah reportedly fled the scene immediately after the incident and was apprehended by police on June 3, 2025, as she attempted to flee to a neighboring country. She is currently in police custody, assisting with investigations.
The Accra Regional Police Command has urged the public to resolve disputes through lawful and peaceful means, emphasizing that violent acts are criminal and will be prosecuted. The Command reaffirmed its commitment to public safety and encouraged citizens to report any suspicious or harmful behavior to the authorities.
