The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with an arson incident that led to the complete destruction of an apartment at Oyarifa Anointed Down in the Greater Accra Region.
The suspects have been identified as Jennifer Mae Tomlinson, a Canadian national, and her Ghanaian boyfriend, Mohammed Issah. Their arrests followed police investigations into a fire outbreak at the apartment on December 23, 2025, which authorities say was deliberately caused.
According to preliminary findings, the two were tenants occupying the apartment at the time of the incident. Police say evidence gathered so far suggests the suspects intentionally set the property on fire, resulting in extensive damage. Investigators noted that the act appeared unprovoked.
Mohammed Issah was arrested by officers of the Ayimensah Abokobi Police on the same day the incident occurred. However, his partner, Jennifer Mae Tomlinson, reportedly went into hiding immediately after the fire.
Police say Tomlinson was later traced and arrested from her hideout on December 25, 2025, bringing both suspects into custody as investigations intensified.
The Regional Police Command has confirmed that the two suspects are currently assisting with investigations. They are expected to be arraigned before court in the coming days to face charges related to unlawful damage and arson.
Police have assured the public of their commitment to ensuring that persons who engage in acts that threaten lives and property are brought to justice in accordance with the law.
