The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested a key suspect in connection with the death of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah.
His burnt body was discovered on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, after he had been reported missing five days earlier.
A police statement identified the suspect as Bright Aweh, who was arrested following investigations that linked him to the officer’s disappearance.
Police disclosed that the suspect was the last person believed to have contacted the officer before he was found dead.
Aweh is said to have invited Amoah to a meeting with the promise of settling a financial obligation.
The statement, issued and signed by Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Region, disclosed that Aweh had sent WhatsApp images of large bundles of cash to Amoah and requested a meeting at a spot in Ashongman Estate on the night of July 3, 2025.
That was the last time Amoah was seen alive.
According to police, the suspect admitted to handing over GHS 500,000 in cash to Amoah, allegedly for debt payments and safekeeping.
However, he failed to provide a clear source for the money and gave contradictory statements, raising further suspicions about his involvement in the crime.
Amoah’s body was found severely burnt in a gutter near the GBC Satellite area, opposite Comet Estate in Accra. Despite the extensive burns, relatives later identified the body at the Police Hospital morgue.
Meanwhile, the Police have appealed to the public to assist with information that may help with ongoing investigations. Anyone with leads is encouraged to report to the nearest police station or call 18555 or 192.
