The Greater Accra Regional Police Command says the prime suspect in the alleged murder of an immigration officer has been giving conflicting accounts during interrogation.
Bright Aweh, 32, is accused of luring the deceased, Steffen King Amoah, into a meeting under the pretext of settling a financial matter before the officer was later found dead.
According to a statement signed by the Head of Public Affairs at the Greater Accra Regional Police Command, Superintendent Juliana Obeng, the suspect told investigators that he gave GH₵500,000 to the late officer to settle a debt and keep the remainder for him. However, he has failed to disclose the source of the money.
The police revealed that on July 3, 2025, Aweh sent images of bundles of cash to Amoah via WhatsApp and requested to meet him at Ashongman Estate around 8:00 p.m. to resolve some financial matters.
Aweh later admitted to handing over the cash to Amoah, but police say his statements have been inconsistent.
Tragically, the burnt body of 38-year-old Immigration Officer Steffen King Amoah, who had been declared missing on July 3, was found in a gutter near the GBC Satellite area, opposite Comet Estate, in Accra.
Despite the extent of the burns, family members confirmed the identity of the deceased.
Acting swiftly on the missing person report, a team of investigators from the Taifa Police arrested the suspect, who remains in custody.
The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has condemned the killing and assured the public of a thorough investigation. They are also urging the public to come forward with any information that could assist in the ongoing probe.
