The Adabraka District Court has adjourned the case involving the murder of Immigration officer Stephen King Amoah to February 25, 2026, pending advice from the Attorney-General’s Office.
The Prosecution, led by Chief Inspector Apeweh Achana, told the court that the police were awaiting the Attorney-General’s advice on the case docket and would follow up at the Office.
The Prosecution, therefore, prayed for a date.
The Court accordingly adjourned the matter to February 25, 2026, and remanded the suspects, Bright Aweh, also known as Highest Bright, and Thomas Zigah, into lawful custody.
Meanwhile, relatives of the deceased continue to throng the court in anticipation of the Attorney-General’s advice, committal proceedings and the commencement of trial.
Aweh, the key suspect, and Zigah, said to be his accomplice, are alleged to have played various roles in the murder of Amoah, a personnel of the Ghana Immigration Service, at Ashongman Estates in Accra.
They have been jointly charged with conspiracy to murder and murder, and the court has reserved their pleas.
Amoah went missing in July 2025 after leaving home to meet Aweh at Ashongman Estates. His burnt body was later found in a drain near Abom Junction.
Police investigations linked the meeting to a financial dispute between the two men, following a WhatsApp exchange that reportedly included images of cash.
Aweh reportedly claimed he gave Amoah GH¢500,000 to settle a debt and return the balance, but inconsistencies in his account led to his arrest.
A search at Aweh’s residence allegedly led to the retrieval of items, including a camouflage outfit with suspected bloodstains and a wooden pestle wrapped in polythene.
As a result, an initial charge of kidnapping against Aweh was dropped, and he was held in connection with the murder. Further investigations led to Zigah's arrest.
Police are still on a manhunt for a third suspected accomplice.
