Accra: Ghana Commercial Bank has debunked reports of an attempted robbery at its Labone Branch in Accra, assuring customers that no such incident occurred on its premises.
According to Ghana Web, in a statement issued on Thursday, August 13, 2026, the bank said it had taken note of reports about an alleged robbery attempt in the Labone area, which had been linked to the bank. GCB, however, clarified that neither its Labone Branch nor any part of its premises was targeted by robbers.
The statement from GCB emphasized, 'GCB Bank wishes to clarify that no robbery or attempted robbery took place at our Labone Branch or on the Bank's premises.' The bank further stated that the branch was never breached and that no customers, staff, funds, or property were affected in any way.
