The Adabraka District Court has adjourned to October 9, 2025, the case involving the death of immigration officer Stephen King Amoah, as prosecutors push for more time to deepen investigations.
At Thursday’s sitting, September 4, police prosecutors told the court that the Ghana Police Service required specialised gadgets to aid in retrieving crucial evidence. They revealed that a court order had already been secured to facilitate the process and insisted that the suspects, Bright Aweh and Thomas Ziggah, remain in custody until the investigations are completed.
The suspects’ lawyer, Gordon Aboagye, however, expressed concerns about the conditions under which his clients were being held. He argued that the families of the accused should be informed of their location in accordance with democratic principles, to allow visitation rights.
While sympathising with the bereaved family, Mr. Aboagye urged them to remain calm and allow due process to unfold. The court, presided over by the Adabraka District Magistrate, echoed this call, assuring that justice would take its full course and urging all parties to remain respectful throughout proceedings.
The case stems from the death of 38-year-old Amoah, who was declared missing on July 3, 2025, after leaving home to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate. His charred remains were later discovered on July 9 at Abuom Junction near Kwabenya, triggering a police manhunt that led to the arrest of the two suspects.
Family members of the late officer were also present in court, continuing to press for clarity surrounding the circumstances of his death.
