 Police arrest woman for acid attack on ex-lover


The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has arrested Mavis Nkrumah, a 30-year-old woman, for allegedly pouring a liquid substance suspected to be acid on her ex-boyfriend at Ablekuma Fan Milk, a suburb of Accra. 


The Police say preliminary investigation suggests that on the night of the attack, 28th May 2025, Mavis appeared unannounced at the victim’s residence at approximately 1:00 a.m.


The victim, Gideon Frimpong, a 29-year-old taxi driver, engaged her in a brief conversation, during which Mavis asked him to drive her home. Gideon agreed and offered to take her.


On reaching a section of the road, Gideon requested Mavis to alight since the road ahead was bumpy and rough and his vehicle could not drive there.


During the stop at Ofankor, 7days stretch, Mavis questioned him about their relationship. After the third confirmation of their breakup, she poured the substance suspected to be acid on him.


The victim, Gideon Frimpong, was identified by a group of people and subsequently rushed to the hospital, where he was treated for injuries sustained. He has since been discharged.


Meanwhile, Suspect Mavis Nkrumah, who fled the scene after the incident and attempted to bolt into a neighbouring country, was arrested yesterday, 3rd June 2025, by the police and is currently in custody, assisting the police with their investigations.


The Accra Regional Police Command cautions the public to seek lawful and peaceful means of resolving issues. Acts of violence are criminal and will be dealt with by the law.


“The Command remains committed to ensuring public safety and urges all to report suspicious or harmful behaviour promptly to the nearest police station,” a statement issued by the Police said.
