COP Yeboah said the suspect, who was arrested on 24th March, 2020, admitted his involvement and mentioned the names of his accomplices as well as their leader.
He said Amos also provided information on where they met to strategise before they went for the robbery and the role each played.
“He confessed that he, together with one of the persons on the run, shot the deceased after the deceased resisted which made them shoot him,” he added.
Mr Adzahli was shot multiple times in his home on March 1, 2020, in what residents suspected to be contract killing.
The incident sparked violent protests by the residents who said security in the area was poor.
