The Ghana Police Service has taken three men into custody over the suspected lynching of a 26-year-old Liberian national at Lashibi in the Greater Accra Region.
The deceased, identified as Austin Tengeeh, was reportedly attacked near the offices of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the area. Police have named the suspects as Francis Amuzu, 44; William Adison, 36; and Vincent Adzikah, 34.
According to a situational report, the Sakumono District Patrol Team received a distress call on February 27, 2026, from an unidentified individual who reported that a man had been severely beaten by a group of angry persons.
Officers swiftly proceeded to the scene, where they found the victim lying unconscious with visible injuries to his neck and head. Preliminary investigations suggest the crowd allegedly mistook him for a thief.
He was rushed to the Sakumono Community Hospital for emergency treatment but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. His body has since been deposited at the hospital’s morgue, while police undertake the necessary diplomatic processes in view of his nationality.
Meanwhile, the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team from the National Police Headquarters has initiated efforts to track down other individuals believed to have been involved in the incident.
Police say investigations are ongoing as authorities intensify their search for additional suspects linked to the fatal attack.
