Ghana Police Service Offers GH¢1 Million Reward for Information on Murder Suspect
The Ghana Police Service has announced a reward of GH¢1 million for anyone who provides credible information leading to the arrest of Mark Agingre. He is suspected of being involved in the alleged murder of a family of five in Binduri, located in the Upper East Region.
Agingre, who is originally from Binduri, is believed to be connected to multiple violent crimes in the district and surrounding areas. He is specifically linked to the murder of a man, his wife, and three children on November 7, 2025. This tragic incident left another child in critical condition at Bolgatanga Government Hospital.
In addition to this case, Agingre is also suspected of being responsible for the killing of an elderly man and his two children on October 27, 2025, in Binduri. Preliminary investigations suggest that he may be involved in several other targeted murders in the region.
Urging Public Assistance
In a public statement, the Ghana Police Service called on citizens to come forward with any information they might have about Agingre’s whereabouts. The police emphasized the importance of providing credible leads and encouraged individuals to contact their local police station or call the emergency numbers 191 or 18555 immediately.
The police assured the public that all available resources are being deployed to track down Agingre and ensure that he faces justice for his alleged crimes. They also reiterated their commitment to maintaining public safety and preventing further violence in the community.
Community Impact and Concerns
The recent murders have sent shockwaves through the Binduri community and the broader Upper East Region. Residents are deeply concerned about the safety of their families and the stability of their neighborhoods. Local leaders have expressed their support for the police investigation and have urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperative.
The community has also been affected by the fear and uncertainty surrounding the suspect. Many are calling for increased security measures and more frequent police patrols in the area. There is a growing demand for transparency and accountability from local authorities to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities are working closely with forensic experts and investigators to gather evidence and piece together the events leading up to the murders. They are also reviewing surveillance footage and conducting interviews with witnesses to identify any potential leads.
The police have not ruled out the possibility that Agingre may have accomplices or that he could be hiding in other parts of the country. They are urging anyone with knowledge of his movements to come forward, no matter how small the detail may seem.
