A 57-year-old man who shockingly describes himself as a chief and a “minister of the gospel” has been busted by police after his brazen shoplifting spree became a viral sensation on TikTok!
The suspect, identified as Nsiah Samuel, was nabbed on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at his hideout in Akrade, located in the Eastern Region.
His shocking downfall came after a series of videos capturing his sticky-fingered antics swept across social media, sparking outrage and turning amateur internet sleuths into digital bounty hunters.
According to a jaw-dropping press release from the Eastern Regional Police Command, the holy roller was nabbed by the Somanya District Police Command.
The arrest was the result of a massive intelligence operation conducted in collaboration with the Borteyman Police in Accra.
Under intense interrogation, the self-proclaimed man of the cloth reportedly sang like a canary, confessing to a massive crime wave. Samuel admitted to swiping consumable items, electronics, clothing, and other shop goods from retail outlets across a staggering number of locations.
The fake chief’s sticky-fingered tour of the south reportedly included stops in Kibi, Suhum, Ashaiman, Accra Central, Koforidua, Tema, Akosombo, and Adenta.
The dramatic takedown was only made possible thanks to the power of the internet. The Ghana Police Service publicly tipped their hats to the vigilant members of the public whose relentless sharing of the viral videos on social media directly led to this major breakthrough.
The unholy shoplifter has since been handed over to the Borteyman Police for further investigation. For now, this “minister” is trading his pulpit for a police cell, proving once again that the internet never forgets—and neither does the long arm of the law!
