The Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, COP Lydia Donkor, has confirmed that Bright Aweh, the prime suspect in the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah, has been formally charged with murder.
She made the announcement at a joint press briefing with the National Cyber Security Authority on Monday, August 4, 2025.
COP Donkor disclosed that forensic tests conducted on samples from Aweh’s residence tested positive for human blood.
“A search at the suspect’s residence uncovered bloodstains in one of the rooms and a fufu pestle, also stained with blood. Laboratory results confirmed the stains were human blood,” she said.
She added that Aweh is scheduled to appear before the Adabraka Court on August 8, 2025, to face trial.
Meanwhile, Acting Director-General of the National Cyber Security Authority, Divine Selasie Agbeti, revealed that in collaboration with the CID, four other major cases involving foreign nationals are currently under investigation.
Immigration Officer Stephen Amoah, 38, was found dead on July 9, 2025, under suspicious circumstances at Abuom Junction in Kwabenya, five days after he was reported missing.
He was last seen leaving his residence at Gye Nyame House, Musuku Junction, Kwabenya, to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate in Accra.
His brother, Akwasi Amoako, confirmed that Amoah’s body was discovered with multiple stab wounds to the chest and neck. The body was partly burnt, suggesting that his killers attempted to set it ablaze after wrapping it in a woolen carpet and dumping it along the Abuom–Abokobi road.
